Lovely Antique French Gatteaux Playing Cards, Complete Deck, 1890 Stamp

Regular price $120.00

Another beautiful deck of antique playing cards with stenciled coloration, no indices, and barely rounded corners. These are French (and came straight from a seller in France) with the Jack of Clubs featuring the Gatteaux mark on shield, the Ace of Clubs featuring a 1890 tax stamp, and pips showing pretty paper watermarks. Really lovely, and in great shape, with a blue and white tight honeycomb pattern on the backs. 

Cards measure 3 5/16" x 2 1/8". 52 of 52 cards. There is a bit of variation in the brightness of the stock, I'm not sure why.  Overall really excellent condition with no notable damage, folds or tears that I can find.
