🪶 Collector's Note

Created to accompany the launch of Magie Noire, one of Lancôme's most famous fragrances, the Anabella Magie Noire Tarot stands among the most unusual promotional tarot decks ever produced. Rather than commissioning traditional occult imagery, Lancôme enlisted artist Giancarlo Carloni to create a stylish and contemporary reinterpretation of the Major Arcana, perfectly reflecting the elegance, mystery, and glamour associated with the perfume.

Produced in limited numbers and never sold through normal retail channels, the deck was intended as a luxury promotional item. Its refined artwork, fashion-inspired characters, and unmistakable late-1970s aesthetic make it highly desirable today among collectors of tarot, perfume memorabilia, advertising ephemera, and vintage design.

The presence of a Bowie-inspired Fool card only adds to the deck's charm and collectability, making it a fascinating crossover piece between tarot culture, fashion, and pop history.

This is a rare facsimile reproduction of the Tarot de Paris, one of the earliest known complete tarot decks, originally created between 1600 and 1650. Published in 1984 by André Dimanche in collaboration with Société Le Jeu de Marseille, with cards manufactured by Grimaud, this edition faithfully preserves the original deck held in the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris.

Each card carries the discreet “BN” stamp (Bibliothèque Nationale) and features the original black line woodcut illustrations with hand-stenciled coloring in vibrant red, mustard yellow, green, blues, browns, and pinks. Unlike later reproductions, no linework has been retouched or modernized, keeping the authentic early 17th-century style intact. Printed on thick, cream-colored cardstock with a semi-gloss finish.

The Tarot of Paris predates the Conver Tarot de Marseille (c.1760) by as much as 150 years, making it a historically significant piece in the evolution of tarot imagery and symbolism.

🔹 No box present (at least not shown)
🔹 Heavy use and numerous creases throughout the deck
🔹 One card with a significant corner loss (Il Matto)

Containing only the 22 Major Arcana, it represents an unusual and seldom-seen variant of one of the most beloved Pagan-themed tarot decks of the late twentieth century. Despite evident wear from use, complete examples remain difficult to find today.

About the Tarocchi dell’Incubo

Created during the golden age of Lo Scarabeo's experimental tarot productions, the Tarocchi dell’Incubo reinterprets the Major Arcana through the dark and surreal universe of Dylan Dog, Italy's famous "Investigator of Nightmares."

Artist Angelo Stano transforms traditional tarot archetypes into scenes inspired by horror, dreams, mystery, and psychological symbolism. While preserving the structure of the Tarot de Marseille, the deck infuses each card with the gothic atmosphere and existential themes that made Dylan Dog an international cult phenomenon.

🪶 Collector's Note

Few tarot-related collectibles unite the worlds of comics, horror illustration, and tarot as successfully as the Tarocchi dell’Incubo. Produced at a time when Lo Scarabeo was pioneering innovative tarot concepts, this deck quickly became one of the publisher's most memorable creations.

Uncut printing sheets are considerably rarer than the decks themselves, as almost all were destroyed during the manufacturing process. This surviving example preserves the complete production layout exactly as it appeared on the printing press, offering a fascinating glimpse into the creation of one of Lo Scarabeo's most iconic early tarot projects.

For collectors of Dylan Dog, Angelo Stano, Italian comics, horror art, or rare tarot memorabilia, this is both a historical printing artifact and an impressive display piece.

A charming French educational game by J.L. Jullien, consisting of 20 wooden cubes covered with finely colored lithographs. Each side of a cube bears a portion of a map, allowing the assembly of six complete cartographical puzzles:

This type of puzzle was used in schools and parlors in the last quarter of the 19th century, a period when cartographical knowledge and colonial expansion were strong themes. The Africa map in particular shows the continent before the full Scramble for Africa, with many regions still marked as “inexplored.”

About the Tarocchi di Vetro

Inspired by the beauty of stained glass, medieval craftsmanship, and Art Nouveau aesthetics, the Tarocchi di Vetro is widely regarded as one of the most elegant tarot decks produced during Lo Scarabeo's formative years.

Artist Elisabetta Trevisan created richly detailed compositions filled with luminous colors, flowing lines, and symbolic imagery reminiscent of cathedral windows and the decorative arts of the late nineteenth century. Her interpretation preserves the traditional symbolism of the Major Arcana while transforming each card into a miniature work of art.

🪶 Collector's Note

The Tarocchi di Vetro occupies a special place in tarot history as one of the earliest artistic masterpieces published by Lo Scarabeo. Trevisan's artwork combines the timeless symbolism of the tarot with the refined elegance of stained-glass design, creating a deck that remains beloved by collectors more than three decades after its release.

Uncut printing sheets are significantly rarer than the decks themselves, as very few survived the production process intact. This example preserves the complete manufacturing layout of the Major Arcana, offering a fascinating glimpse into the creation of one of Lo Scarabeo's most beautiful early tarot decks.

Part printing artifact, part decorative poster, and part tarot history, it is an exceptional piece for collectors of tarot, fantasy illustration, Art Nouveau-inspired art, and rare Lo Scarabeo productions.

A seldom-seen complete luxury edition that combines French craftsmanship, historical inspiration, and exceptional presentation.

🪶 Collector's Note

While individual Versailles decks by Grimaud still appear on the collector market, complete examples housed in the original genuine leather presentation case are remarkably scarce. This deluxe version was likely produced as a premium gift set for department stores, corporate gifting, or luxury retail distribution.

The survival of the original leather case, satin interior, matching sealed decks, and original leather tag makes this an especially desirable example. Complete sets of this quality are rarely encountered today and represent one of the most elegant modern productions associated with the famous Versailles playing card series.

Unlike the standard boxed edition, this scarce version was issued in an elegant black leatherette travel wallet in the 70s, transforming the Horoscope Belline into a portable consultation kit. Designed for readers on the move, it discreetly resembles a personal organizer or diary while concealing a complete divination set inside.

Designed for readers on the move, this elegant zippered case contains the oracle deck, a notepad, miniature pencil, and dedicated compartments, creating a complete divination kit that could easily be carried in a handbag or briefcase. Far less common than the standard boxed edition, this format was intended for practical daily use and is seldom found intact today.

🔹 Publisher: Grimaud, France
🔹 Title: Horoscope Belline – Travel Edition
🔹 Date: circa late 1970s 
⚠️ Cards: 51 cards present (card no. 32 is missing)
🔹 Card size: 9 × 6 cm
🔹 Artwork: Distinctive minimalist illustrations characteristic of late-20th-century French graphic design and esoteric publishing.

Condition

🔹 Cards show normal signs of use consistent with age.
🔹 Card No. 32 is missing.
🔹 Please note that the zipper is no longer functional and does not fully close the case.
🔹 Original notepad and miniature pencil are still present.
🔹 Overall a very attractive and well-preserved example of a scarce format.

🪶 Collector’s Note

While the standard Horoscope Belline deck can still occasionally be found, the original travel consultation kit is considerably rarer. Most examples have lost their wallet, pencil, or accessories over the years. This surviving set offers a fascinating glimpse into the practical world of French cartomancy during the 1970s, when divination tools were increasingly adapted for everyday use.
