A dance of courtship… and quiet decay.
This evocative print captures the haunting charm of The Arsenic Waltz, a satirical illustration inspired by a most peculiar truth of the Victorian age. At a time when brilliance of colour was prized above all, garments were often dyed with arsenic-based pigments, their beauty concealing a slow and dangerous poison.
Set within an upcycled, pre-loved frame, gently embellished to evoke an aged, antiqued finish, this piece is perfectly suited to dark, timeworn interiors, while giving new life to forgotten materials and keeping them from landfill.
Perfect for those drawn to Victorian curiosities, historical oddities, Gothic, dark academia, and apothecary décor.
A curious relic for your wall, where beauty lingers… and danger, ever so politely, takes your hand.
Has wall mounting fixture at the back. Hang on the wall or sit on a shelf.
