The Death's Head Hawk Moth Altered Art Frame - Handcrafted Statement Sculpture

A symphony of Life, Death, and Timeless Music.

Breathe a second, silent life into music with this breathtaking, one-of-a-kind altered art statement piece. Meticulously handcrafted from a reclaimed, repurposed violin, this sculptural wall display captures the moody essence of dark romanticism and vintage curiosities.

The violin body has been stripped of its traditional finish and coated in a smooth, matte midnight-black, emphasising its elegant classical curves and F-holes. Resting across the lower bout is a beautifully detailed, handpainted Death's Head Hawk moth - the legendary nocturnal creature famed for the striking, natural human skull marking on its thorax. Symbolising destiny, transformation, and Memento Mori, the moth's warm, illustrated tones provide a stark, stunning contrast to the deep black instrument.

Mounted securely against a textured dark backing and enclosed within a heavily detailed, vintage inspired gold frame, this substantial artwork creates an incredible shadow-box depth effect. It serves as the ultimate conversation piece for home libraries, music rooms, gothic dining halls, or alternative art collections. 

Masterfully built using a real, repurposed violin, giving old craftsmanship a striking new purpose.

Features a custom, highly detailed hawk-moth illustration painted directly onto the body of the instrument.

A substantial statement piece designed to act as a dramatic centre point on any dark academy or alternative accent wall.

Dimensions approximately 17.75 inches (45cm) x 21 inches (53.5cm).

Care Instructions: Dust very gently using a clean, dry microfibre cloth or static feather duster. Do not use chemical household sprays or liquid polish to preserve the custom matte coating and hand-painted detailing.
