The 12 beautiful blues!

Collection No.17
12 masks from the César company, complete collection from 1986. and soft plastic masks from 2010.

This collection, centered around the world of Peyo's characters, comprises three versions of Papa Smurf masks, two versions of Smurfette masks, and masks of her friends: Robber Smurf, Baby Smurf, and Clown Smurf. In very good overall condition. A remarkable collection of iconic masks from major children's comic book franchises of the 1980s.
This set is distinguished by its exceptional state of preservation, rare thematic coherence, and the inclusion of pieces that have become very difficult to find today. A remarkably homogeneous lot, ideal for discerning collectors, specialist galleries, or institutions dedicated to popular culture.

There are objects that don't just exist: they carry memories within them.
These César masks, made in Saumur between the 1960s and 2000, are among them. They evoke Wednesday afternoons, school parties, the colorful shop windows of bazaars, impromptu costumes, and the bursts of children's laughter that now exist only in memory.

Each mask is a fragment of an era, a piece of light from a time when airbrushes were still used, when colors vibrated under the hand of an artisan, when plastic wasn't just an ordinary material but a promise of magic.

Some still have their original labels, others their slightly worn elastic—like a tender scar, proof that they have lived, that they have been loved.

Hanging them in your home is like opening a small window onto childhood, onto French popular culture, onto the heroes and monsters that populated our imaginations. It's creating a wall gallery unlike any other, a gallery that tells a story: yours, theirs, the story of a lost but never forgotten craft.

Light as memories, graphic like fairground posters, they hang on the wall in an instant. And because they are precious, fragile, irreplaceable, each one travels in reinforced packaging, designed to protect what it carries: a little piece of our past.
