Art Deco Playing Cards

Throughout the 1920s and ’30s, card games such as Whist, Spades, Gin Rummy, and Bridge were popular, alongside classic casino games, including 21 and Poker, which could be played at home. Dressing up, sipping cocktails, and staying in to play cards became “a la mode,” especially among young people as a statement against the Temperance Movement.

Art Deco Playing Cards celebrates the fashions and designs of this era, with two decks featuring beautiful illustrations by George Barbier, one of the most lauded illustrators of the twentieth century. In a gold-trimmed gift box with a pull-out drawer and individual boxes for each set of cards, these decks will add a splash of glamour to your parties and games nights. Cheers!
