About the Item
Exquisite Vintage Venetian “Medico della Peste” Mask in Gilt and Black Lacquer
This stunning Venetian full face mask is a beautiful work of craftsmanship, perfect for collectors or as a decorative piece.
This striking vintage Venetian mask is inspired by the iconic Medico della Peste (Plague Doctor) design. Handcrafted in Venice, Italy, this piece features a beautifully elongated beak—a distinctive symbol of the traditional mask—accented with lavish gilded scrollwork, black lacquer details, and subtle antiqued patina throughout.
The mask’s sculptural form and elegant colour palette of gold, cream, and black evoke the mystery and grandeur of Venice’s Carnevale. Richly detailed with raised baroque-style flourishes and musical notes, it makes a captivating decorative accent for a wall, a collector’s cabinet, or as a unique wearable art piece for masquerade events. A rare find for enthusiasts of Venetian art, theatre, and historical costume, this mask embodies timeless craftsmanship and the allure of the city’s storied traditions.
The mask is complete with its black ribbon ties.
