Description from the seller
Leather Theater Mask / Wall Sculpture – Atelier Hirondelle – France
A beautiful and monumental art object: a handmade, two-tone leather theater mask from the renowned French Atelier Hirondelle (South of France). This mask is a sublime example of high-quality leather craft, inspired by classical theatre traditions such as the Italian Commedia dell'arte.
The mask features an expressive, stylized face, framed by a large, organically draped leather drapery or hood. Thanks to the stunning two-tone coloration in deep dark brown and warm chestnut orange, the piece possesses immense visual depth and expressiveness.
On the inside, the mask bears the original, authentic signature/mark of the maker: "Atelier Hirondelle".
This impressive piece, due to its substantial dimensions, serves as a unique theatrical design and interior object for wall display (equipped with a hanging mount on the back).
