My masks not just for wearing but they also can be used as decorative objects in your home décor. With their leafed finishes, a mask adds an instant jolt of luxury to a space.

It is possible to completely enclose your mask in a glassed frame but I suggest other methods of display that still allow for access when the occasion to wear arises. One of the most dramatic is to place it in a display frame, these are silk-lined, shallow, shadow-boxes that do not have a glass front.

The mask is pinned to the lining and projects slightly past the edge of the frame. It can be easily removed for wearing but appears to be framed the rest of the time. This is particularly effective in a more formal setting. Here are some pictures. A more playful method of display is to drape the mask, by its strings, off of a piece of furniture, mirror, sconce, or frame. This is a casual way to draw attention to both your mask and the area where it hangs. Some examples are here.

In a similar vein, you can also simply rest the mask on a table or propped up against something on an available surface. An inexpensive table top plate holder can be used for a low display. Some of my masks have a hanging loop on them that allows the masks to hang directly on a wall. A loop can be added to any mask. Mask stands can also be used and they allow the mask to "float" in a position and manner like being worn. I am in the process of finding an ironworker who can produce suitable stands.
