Hearth Cricket (Polished Brass)
$17.95
Description
Over the years, Merry Old England came to adopt the thinking that a cricket in the home would ensure prosperity and health.
Inspired by this belief, the beloved 19th century English writer, Charles Dickens, titled one of his novels A Cricket on the Hearth. As testified by the tale, Victorians postured the little chirper by fireside in the belief that only good would come upon their household.
