Super 80’s!

550 

Collection No.5
13 vintage masks from the house of César and Festa under original license.

This collection of very 80s masks includes masks from E.T. 1982, Denver the Last Dinosaur, Inspector Gadget, Huck, Miss Piggy (the mask is damaged, cracked under the chin), Fozzy the Bear from the Muppet Show, Sport Billy, Casper the Ghost, a very rare Roger Rabbit mask from César, and the Mogwai from Gremlins. Very good overall condition.

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.
