Product popular Description

Originating in the street performances of Commedia dell'Arte in medieval Italy, Venetian masks symbolize mystery, frivolity, and the festive spirit of revelry, which still permeate Venice during its famous Carnivals. The unequivocal symbol of the Venetian Carnival, the Venetian face mask is an art form in and of itself, one that has been explored by mask-makers of Venice and Murano Glass artisans alike. This exquisite Murano Glass mask crafted in an old traditional workshop on Murano island is a fine expression of all that makes Venetian Carnival so famous around the world. The red face with fine features, millefiori mosaic inclusions, and the rich dusting of 24 karat gold evoke the typical themes of the carnival: the drama of the mysterious secret encounters set against the opulence of the costumed balls. Millefiori pays homage to the prominence of Venice's traditional crafts, which have always played a big part in carnival preparations and festivities. Now you too can accentuate your home with a token of Venice and bring festival spirit into your life.
