The heart is a symbol of love, life, and death - a gift we might say we give to others. As Valentine’s Day approaches and love lingers in the air, we’re unearthing alternative ways to show your undying love. At House of Persephone, the classic symbol of romance gets a beautifully macabre twist with anatomical heart designs that speak to the soul of every dark romantic.
Large anatomical heart
Hand sculpted and cast, with either a vintage gold or silver finish, this human heart sculpture is more than wall decor - it’s a reminder of love, life, and the delicate shadow of mortality.
This macabre oddity merges life’s fragility with timeless elegance, embodying House of Persephone’s commitment to exploring the beauty within darkness.
Mini round heart wall decor
A blend of baroque-inspired design and gothic aesthetic, this smaller anatomical heart decor serves as an elegant reminder of the organ that sustains our existence. The first anatomical heart design created at House of Persephone, this handcrafted piece paved the way for the following works...
Heart in coffin
Memento mori, memento vivere
A personal favourite, this miniature heart lives in an ornate coffin - combining life and death - marrying beauty and the macabre in perfectly unholy matrimony.
Heart mini frame
House of Persephone would be nowhere without florals - a reminder of life, growth and the renewal that comes with Spring. This mini anatomical heart sits against a dark, floral background in a deep box frame, creating a small but beautiful ‘Memento Vivere’ decor.
Anatomical Heart Magnet Duo
Making sure not one inch of your alternative home decor goes untouched is the mini anatomical heart magnet duo. It’s all about the details, and these small accessories add a ‘Memento Mori’ accent to even the smallest of spaces.
The designs reveal the beauty that lies within the unconventional, reminding us that love doesn’t have to fit a traditional mould. The anatomical heart, with its raw, intricate detail, stands as a powerful symbol of love - just as meaningful as its classic counterpart. It embodies both life and death, a poignant reminder of the fragility and depth of human connection. Though perhaps morbid at first glance, there’s an undeniable beauty in its honesty, making it a fitting emblem for those who dare to love differently.
