Mixed Media Shabby Chic Heart Wall Hanging with Cursive Script and Molded Roses
Unbranded (Likely Handmade or Boutique Craft) · Art & Decor > Wall Decor
Era / Decade
2010s-Present (Contemporary Shabby Chic Revival)
Material
MDF or heavy cardstock base, plaster or resin molded embellishments, acrylic paint, and a sheer organza ribbon.
Condition
Fair to Good. There is a visible fracture and separation on the bottom-left rose embellishment. The overall weathered look is intentional, but the physical break reduces value.
Demand Level
Low to Moderate. While the aesthetic is popular in specific niches like 'Cottagecore', unbranded handmade decor without a known artist has a limited secondary market.
Resale Value

Comparable Sales
Similar unbranded wall plaques typically sell for $8-$15 on platforms like eBay or Mercari. Damaged decorative items often sell for under $10 in thrift environments.
Description
A romantic, shabby chic heart-shaped wall plaque featuring a decoupage-style background of vintage cursive handwriting/lettering. The heart is bordered by 3D molded roses in a dusty rose hue and features a swallow bird in flight at the center. Finished with a red organza ribbon for hanging. Perfect for cottagecore, Parisian, or Victorian-inspired decor.
Key Features
Trendy shabby chic/cottagecore aesthetic, 3D relief elements (roses and bird), neutral palette with pink accents, lightweight and easy to ship.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely an artisan craft or mass-produced boutique item (e.g., Hobby Lobby or Michael's). No maker's mark suggests a hobbyist creation. High confidence in its status as a decorative craft piece.
Flaws to Note
A primary rose on the left side is broken/cracked and partially detached. Some fraying on the hanging ribbon. The 'distressed' edges are part of the design but may be perceived as wear by some buyers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sales, or as a small 'add-on' item in an Etsy shop or Mercari bundle.
Selling Tips
Due to the break, this is best sold in a 'shabby chic' bundle with other pink or vintage-style items. Use keywords like 'Cottagecore', 'Ephemera Art', and 'Victorian Style'. Highlight the 3D details in close-up photos.
