A skull, dissected and displayed—every fracture suspended in time.
This hand-distressed resin Beauchêne Skull, also known as an exploded skull, sits regally atop a vintage-inspired gilt pedestal. Each bone is separated, exposed, and held mid-air like a cathedral of ruin—a relic that whispers anatomy, mortality, and the strange beauty of being undone.
Originally designed in the 1800s by Claude Beauchêne and imagined first by Leonardo da Vinci, this method was used to study the skull piece by piece, context intact. We call it “beautifully broken”—a tribute to what remains when everything comes apart.
Crafted for the altar, the library, the sacred shelf of someone who finds divinity in decay.
