An orange in the clouds!

Collection No.19
11 masks from the César and Festa company. Characters from L’Île aux enfants, le village dans les nuages ​​and les visiteurs du mercredi.

This collection, centered around the world of characters created by Yves Brunier, the true creator and performer of the famous orange dinosaur from "L'Île aux enfants" (Children's Island), includes the Casimir mask from the Festa company, the Poï-Poï, Oscar Paterne from the village in the clouds, the Cramti, Allegro, the three Zabars, Kalamine the mother, Patanok the son, and Cousin Lilika. In very good overall condition. The presence of rare models and the excellent state of preservation make this an exceptional set, seldom offered on the market.

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.
