Mask Makers Web

Bijan designs beautiful unique Venetian style masks, including Commedia dell'Arte, and Sculptural pieces treasured by collectors worldwide. The little shop in Piazza Pitti, by the Pitti Palace Museum in Florence, was originally that of Prof.Agostino Dessi/Alice le Maschere. No one can forget seeing the hundreds of shining gold, silver, and painted masks hanging from the walls and ceilings. While teaching maskmaking to UCLA drama students in Florence, Wendy Steen-Olsen discovered Bijan's incredible masks and wanted to make them available in the USA, and for mask lovers everywhere, so Florentine Masks was born. Masks are very collectible and many have fine drawings, etchings, and painting of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo etc.. See "Florentine Masks"
