Besançon 1890 & Italian Artisan Mini Decks in Wooden Box – 2 Miniature Handcrafted Decks

A rare and enchanting pairing of two miniature handcrafted tarot decks, presented together in a beautiful vintage wooden box with metal inlay.
This set combines 19th-century French tarot heritage with unique modern Italian craftsmanship — a combination you will not find anywhere else.

The first deck is a faithful miniature reproduction of the 1890 Besançon Tarot, recreated directly from an original antique deck in my personal archive.
The second deck is a handmade Italian artist’s tarot, a private artisan creation produced in extremely limited quantity and unavailable commercially.
