Description

A single decorative metal plate casket hardware. Sand cast nickel plate. Lavish coffin hardware was the result of the 19th century ‘Cult of the Dead’ or the ‘Beautification of Death’ movement. These new views on death were the the result of Romanticism that began in the late 1700s. With it’s reverence for nature and emotions, as well as interest in the esoteric. The Romantic movement increased sentimentalism surrounding death and the afterlife leading to more elaborate mourning behaviours, monuments and coffins.
