A true treasure of turn-of-the-century artistry, this facsimile edition brings to life Gaston Quenioux’s exquisite playing card deck, originally created for the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Carefully restored from original source material, the deck captures the elegance of the Art Nouveau era—flowing linework, stylized florals, and the refined spirit of Belle Époque Paris. Every detail has been preserved with intention, from the softly aged tones to the intricate ornamental design, while being presented in a format suited for modern use. Originally produced during a period when decorative arts and printmaking were at their height, Quenioux’s work transforms a traditional deck of cards into an object of visual richness and historical significance. This 52 card edition by Vieux Monde is printed on linen-finish cardstock for a refined tactile experience and housed in a matching two-piece linen box, offering both durability and a sense of craftsmanship. The result is a deck that feels as considered as it looks. Part of Vieux Monde’s ongoing work to preserve and reintroduce rare historical paper artifacts, this edition offers the beauty of an antique deck without the fragility of an original—ideal for collectors, artists, and anyone drawn to vintage design.
