Each item inside Mrs. Bones Curio Cupboard is selected with intention—never ordinary, never without a story.
Some are handcrafted. Some are discovered. All are chosen to bring a little intrigue, beauty, or curiosity into your world.
Bring a little piece of the Louisiana bayou home.
Handcrafted in Louisiana, this striking wall-mounted key holder combines a genuine preserved alligator profile with rustic woodworking and natural alligator scutes to create a functional piece of bayou art that's unmistakably unusual.
Our custom piece features a genuine preserved alligator half-head mounted in profile on a black wooden shelf-style backing, accompanied by a trio of genuine alligator scutes. The profile-cut design allows the alligator head to sit close to the wall while still providing the dramatic appearance and natural texture of an authentic specimen.
Functional hooks turn the piece into more than a display: use it for keys, lightweight accessories, or simply let the alligator stand guard over your curiosity collection.
The maker is a Louisiana family business with roots in the local alligator industry dating to 1970. Their pieces are handcrafted in Louisiana using genuine alligator material, with the natural variations of each specimen intentionally retained.
