French Art Nouveau Playing Cards – G. Quenioux 1900 Paris Exposition Reproduction Deck

A little piece of Belle Époque Paris for your next card game.

This beautiful 52-card deck is a facsimile of the playing cards designed by French artist Gaston Quenioux for the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris—the spectacular world’s fair that celebrated a new century of art, design and innovation.

The deck captures the unmistakable spirit of the Art Nouveau era through flowing floral ornament, stylized court figures and an elegant palette of red, blue, olive, black and softly aged cream. Even the card backs are works of art, decorated with a richly detailed rose design.

Carefully reproduced from historic source material, the cards preserve the character and intricate detail of Quenioux’s original artwork while being presented as a complete deck suitable for modern play.

A wonderful choice for:

• Lovers of French and Parisian history
• Art Nouveau and Belle Époque enthusiasts
• Playing-card collectors
• Beautifully styled game nights
• A distinctive gift for a card player or Francophile
