Fashionable Decks with a Fragrance
-11-
We'll end here with another deck that was published for
Van Cleef & Arpels perfumes. It's our latest acquisition.
Once again a luxureous
edition: solid gold edges and a black background for the designs. Adding to this
"rich" look are the diamonds that form the special suitcolours
in each design.

The deck was designed by H. Simoni.
The design of the courts looks classical, but it's a mixture of features
from different patterns. Special are the diamonds that are on the crowns of the Kings and Queens.
The deck was probably published in the mid or late 1990's by Dusserre Editions for Van Cleef & Arpels.
It was printed by Boéchat & Frères.

One of the features from the classic French pattern is the shield that
the Jack of Clubs holds in his hand.
Usually to show the tax law date, but here it mentions the name of Van Cleef & Arpels. |
