Antique Arcana
€99.00 EUR
A remarkable collection of four historical French playing card decks celebrating key moments in France’s national heritage — from the Montgolfier brothers’ first flight to the ideals of the Revolution. Each deck, produced by Grimaud or France Cartes, is a faithful artistic homage printed in the 1980s with the refined quality typical of French manufacturers.
Included decks:
Les Montgolfières (1783–1983) – Commemorating 200 years of the first hot air balloon flight by Étienne & Joseph de Montgolfier.
Jeu de Cartes Révolutionnaires – 1793 – Revolutionary themes of liberty, equality, and fraternity, with emblematic scenes and mottos.
Jeu de la Révolution (Reader’s Digest Selection) – A patriotic edition with rosette back design and historical cards celebrating the French Republic.
25e Anniversaire du Retour des Pieds-Noirs en Métropole – A rare limited edition marking the 25th anniversary of the Pieds-Noirs’ return to France, with heraldic and commemorative motifs.
🔹 Publisher: France Cartes / Grimaud / Sélection du Reader’s Digest
🔹 Years: 1983–1987
🔹 Size: 88 × 62 mm
🔹 Language: French
🔹 Condition: All decks factory sealed or in blister

🪶 Collector’s Note
Each of these decks reflects a different chapter of French memory — the Enlightenment, Revolution, exploration, and repatriation. Together, they form a cohesive, museum-worthy set that captures the artistry and symbolism of France’s late 20th-century commemorative playing card tradition.
Perfect for collectors of Grimaud, France Cartes, and historical decks with patriotic or educational themes.
