Whether it’s a small gathering or a full-blown masquerade, our Venetian masks conjure up mystique, glamour, secrecy, excitement and dare we say decadence! Originally worn by the upper class for more dubious reasons, Venetian masks still evoke the darker side of life with all its hidden intrigue. Masks have the power to transform any function from being mundane into an euphoric, memorable experience. With a choice of hundreds of different designs direct from Venice, we are one of the largest stockists of masks in the UK, able to satisfy any requirements. Today, after a history of political and religious influence, the mask is part of the carnival, the society ball and the fancy dress party. So, let the masquerade begin! The Venetian Collection We have over thirty years experience in providing Venetian masks and costumes to thousands of customers in this country and abroad. We pride ourselves on having one of the largest stocks of Venetian masks in the country! The Venetian Collection was born out of a desire to promote and provide genuine Venetian masks for our thousands of existing customers, who regularly hire their costumes from our associated company, Mad World Costume Hire. Mad World Costume Hire, based in the city of London and at Crawley near Gatwick, has an enviable reputation of providing the best costumes available, anywhere. Our experienced and friendly sales staff can advise on the most appropriate mask for your particular function. At the Venetian Collection we provide a mail order service, and can guarantee an immediate dispatch.* If you are arranging a masked ball, we can provide a display stand and experienced sales staff to sell our masks to your guests on the night of your function – ideal for those guests who may have forgotten to purchase their masks prior to the event. Whatever your requirements, be it for masks or costumes, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our website is constantly being updated. *Subject to item availability. 3 The History of the Venetian Masks For over 700 years, Venetian masks have played a major part in the intrigues and mystique of Venice. In modern times this intrigue has been enhanced by two movies: Fellini's controversial Casanova in 1976 and the more recent Eyes Wide Shut, directed in 1999 by Stanley Kubrick and starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. A number of the masks in Eyes Wide Shut were supplied by the Venetian Collection. Worn in many scenes by naked women and men in black cloaks, our masks were carefully designed to create a strange and mysterious atmosphere of surreal, dream-like decadence. On its release, the movie generated a storm of media attention and a huge upsurge in the use of Venetian masks at parties, product launches and corporate events around the world. 'Masquerading' started in the thirteenth century, when Venice was as lively and crowded as it is today. As a result, many people, particularly the rich and famous but also courtesans, gigolos, and others who needed to conduct themselves with the utmost discretion and privacy and who required anonymity, started to wear masks to achieve this. Consequently a new breed of professionals emerged who were able to make stunning masks for these clients and a whole new industry was born. But the secrecy that the masks provided also led to an inevitable increase in crime and a general decline in morals. In the fourteenth century it became necessary to introduce decrees forbidding the everyday wearing of masks, and masquerading was restricted to special carnivals and festivals. 4 These spectacular happenings draw visitors from all over the world with the main Venetian event, The Carnavale, taking place in February each year. Our Masks All of our masks can truly claim to be Venetian as they are designed and made in our workshops in the heart of Venice to the very highest standards. They are strong, durable and stylish, yet lightweight and comfortable. We have many colours and designs of mask to choose from, so there is something for every occasion in terms of both style and price. Our half-face masks leave your mouth uncovered, which gives freedom for eating, drinking, talking – and maybe stealing a kiss from a mysterious stranger! We are always adding to our vast collection of masks so if you require one not featured in our brochure or you require a bespoke mask, please contact us.

These beautiful masks are handmade using traditional techniques and materials mainly wood pulp or papier mâché, with resin for extra strength. Each mask is sumptuously decorated. Intricate, detailed painting is undertaken by hand, and further embellishments are added using silver and gold leaf. We also produce other decorative effects with imitation pearls and stones, gorgeous braiding and brightly coloured feathers. Depending on the type of mask, we sometimes use glitter, waxed paper and even pieces of sheet music. As they are handmade each one will have its own characteristic size and shape. A truly genuine hand-made mask, traditionally made by craftsmen whose skills have been handed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. 30 The Smarter Group The Venetian Collection is part of the Smarter Group of companies, a leading events and entertainment group.
