About the Item
The Devil is in the Details, An Early 19th c Silver Plated Tray with Devil's Face Cast in the Gallery. The gallery has 3 Devil faces flanked by scrolling leaves. The interior with engraved fruit and leaves. The use of the devil on silver objects in the early 19th c even though this period was considered a time of scientific advances and growing rationalism, many medieval beliefs related to witchcraft and magic persisted. It was believed that some people could make pacts with the devil to gain supernatural powers, and that witches could perform magical rituals to cause misfortune or cast spells. These beliefs sparked fear of the devil and fueled popular superstition. The devil was considered a symbol of power, will and knowledge. In the US, the devil's image was cast in silver produced by Reed and Barton, Rogers Brothers, Whiting and Tiffany.
