Step back in time to the Jazz Age and take a seat at Jay Gatsby’s card table with Art Deco Playing Cards.

Art Deco Playing Cards celebrates the designs and fashions of the influential Art Deco movement.

Throughout the 1920s and ’30s, card games such as Whist, and its derivative 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 of fifty-four cards featuring beautiful fashion illustrations by George Barbier, one of the most lauded illustrators of the twentieth century. Set in a gold-trimmed gift box with pull-out drawer and individual boxes for each set of cards, Art Deco Playing Cards will be your sophisticated, go-to card decks for games night.
