🪶 Collector’s Note
An elegant and very scarce French divination deck, Le Tarot Cardinal reflects the 1970s–80s fortune-telling culture of France, where simplified Marseille-based decks were created for quick, accessible readings.
Its association method makes it historically valuable for collectors of French cartomancy, Grimaud editions, and vintage Major Arcana–only systems. Complete boxed copies like this one are increasingly hard to find.

A deluxe collector’s box set containing two complete fantasy-inspired tarot decks created by the celebrated French artist Florence Magnin and published by Nestiveqnen Éditions (August 2023).

🔹 Le Tarot du Labyrinthe — A mythological odyssey through an intricate, dreamlike labyrinth where archetypes, nature spirits, and sacred beasts guide the seeker’s path.

Each deck unfolds a visionary and poetic universe, filled with rich symbolism and narrative detail. Together, they form two complementary journeys through imagination and transformation.

🪶 Collector’s Note

A truly refined presentation of the Marseille tradition, this 2011 France Loisirs edition stands out for its golden-edged cards, crimson box, and illustrated hardback companion.
Both elegant and instructive, it bridges art, symbolism, and divination — a beautiful gift for collectors and connoisseurs of modern French tarot craftsmanship.

One of the most sought-after French fantasy tarots, Le Tarot d’Ambre is illustrated by Florence Magnin and based on the legendary saga Le Cycle des Princes d’Ambre by Roger Zelazny. Originally created as part of the Ambre role-playing universe, this tarot blends the structure of the Marseille tradition with vivid fantasy artwork and iconic characters from the novels.

The Major Arcana follow Marseille symbolism while portraying heroes and scenes from Amber. The Minor Arcana are rich, colorful, and detailed, with court cards directly inspired by the series. The deck’s fantasy landscapes give each card a dynamic, almost living atmosphere.
This edition — published by Jeux Descartes in 1994 — has become incredibly hard to find complete.

“The Ambre Tarot has become a grail item for collectors of fantasy tarots and French RPG memorabilia. Most surviving sets show heavy wear, making a copy with pristine cards and the original booklet exceedingly rare. Florence Magnin’s detailed illustrations and the deck’s strong connection to Zelazny’s Amber universe make this one of the most coveted French-themed tarots of the 1990s.”

🪶 Collector’s Note

Portuguese-language Tarot de Marseille decks are far less common than their French, Italian, or Spanish counterparts. This edition stands out as a regional adaptation that remained visually faithful to the Marseille canon while serving a distinct cultural market.

The cards feature Portuguese titles, making this edition especially appealing to collectors of international Marseille variants and South American tarot publications.

The original tuck box is present, labeled “O verdadeiro e mais rico tarot conhecido” (“The true and richest tarot known”), reinforcing its intention as an authoritative Marseille edition rather than a modern reinterpretation.

Such decks are increasingly sought after by Marseille purists, international tarot collectors, and historians of tarot diffusion, especially as Brazilian and Portuguese editions were often printed in smaller quantities and less widely exported.

This beautifully produced deck by AGMüller is a faithful and vivid reproduction of traditional woodcut Marseille tarots.

About This Edition

Unlike ordinary tarot decks, this set was created as a cultural and artistic object linked to a unique immersive performance exploring the symbolism of the Major Arcana. Visitors to Forte Sperone encountered actors embodying each archetype of the tarot in a dramatic journey through the historic fortress.

The reported limitation to just 27 copies suggests that this edition may have been reserved for collaborators, sponsors, or a very small circle of participants, making it extraordinarily scarce.

🪶 Collector’s Note

A truly exceptional piece at the crossroads of tarot history, Italian theater, and fine art. Combining the visionary world of Emanuele Luzzati with the experimental spirit of Teatro della Tosse, this complete 1991 set stands among the rarest and most unusual tarot-related artifacts to surface on the market.

For collectors of Emanuele Luzzati, theatrical ephemera, and historically significant tarot editions, this is a museum-worthy acquisition.

🔸 Publisher / Brand: Grimaud / France Cartes
🔸 Year: 1987
🔸 Place of publication: France
🔸 Type: Educational / tutorial tarot deck
🔸 Tradition: Tarot de Marseille (simplified system)

The Taromantic is a simplified instructional version of the traditional Tarot de Marseille, designed as an accessible learning tool for beginners and students of cartomancy.

Each card includes printed meanings directly on the card, along with interpretive notes influenced by neighboring cards, allowing the reader to understand interactions and combinations without memorization. This makes the Taromantic both a didactic tarot and a practical reading deck.

The deck focuses on clarity, structure, and pedagogy, offering a straightforward introduction to Marseille symbolism while preserving its essential archetypal language. Often described as a “tarot tutorial in card form,” it was produced during a period when French publishers emphasized educational divination systems.

🔸 Condition

The original box shows visible wear and small tears consistent with age and use, dated 1987 (see photos).

🪶 Collector’s Note

The Taromantic (1987) occupies a distinctive place in modern French tarot history as a bridge between traditional Tarot de Marseille imagery and late-20th-century pedagogical cartomancy. Published by Grimaud, it reflects a period when tarot was increasingly taught as a structured language rather than an intuitive art alone.

Because meanings are printed directly on the cards, complete sets in good condition are increasingly sought after by collectors, educators, and beginners looking for historically grounded learning decks. A concise, honest, and intelligently designed tarot — now out of print.

• Allows the performer to focus entirely on presentation

This intuitive system makes the deck both practical and highly deceptive.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Marked tarot decks from the 1990s are increasingly difficult to locate, especially in French and in complete condition. This deck occupies a unique niche at the crossroads of tarot collecting and professional magic, making it an unusual and highly desirable item for both performers and collectors.

A rare Tarot Alpin de Marseille deck by French artist Nuvish.

This set includes 22 large-format cards, printed in direct tone offset with a refined, engraving-like monochrome style. The imagery is dense, surreal, and highly textured, inviting slow contemplation and deep symbolic reading.

Each card presents a unique reinterpretation of the tarot archetypes, blending natural, animal, and hybrid forms within detailed alpine-inspired environments.

The deck comes in its original silkscreened box, printed on metallic-toned paper.

🔹 Artist: Nuvish
🔹 Title: Tarot Alpin de Marseille
🔹 Edition: Limited to 500 copies
🔹 Number of cards: 22
🔹 Size: approx. 20 × 12.5 cm (large format)
🔹 Printing: Offset, 4 direct tone colors
🔹 Paper: 260 gsm
🔹 Box: Silkscreen printed (1 color) on 320 gsm metallic paper
🔹 Origin: France
🔹 Language: French

🪶 Collector’s Note

The Tarot Alpin de Marseille by Nuvish is a striking contemporary artist tarot, produced in a strictly limited edition of only 500 copies.

Blending surreal alpine landscapes, organic metamorphosis, and dreamlike symbolism, this deck reinterprets the Major Arcana through a highly detailed monochrome aesthetic reminiscent of engraving and fine art printmaking.

Originally created between 1643 and 1664, this deck predates and differs from the more standardized Marseille tradition. Its imagery carries a raw, archaic charm — closer to the early roots of cartomancy, where symbolism was still fluid, regional, and deeply expressive.

This 2016 reproduction (now out of print) was carefully produced from original woodblock cards preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, capturing the texture, imperfections, and soul of the historic prints.

Unlike modern decks, the Vieville tarot presents unique iconographic variations — offering a fascinating alternative lineage for collectors and serious tarot historians.

🪶 Collector’s Note

The Jacques Vieville Tarot is one of the rare surviving examples of early Parisian tarot production — distinct from Marseille decks yet sharing a common ancestry.

Notable differences include:

• Unusual interpretations of certain Major Arcana
• Variations in numbering and symbolism
• A more medieval, less standardized visual language

It offers a glimpse into a time when tarot had not yet been fixed into the system we recognize today.

This is not just a tarot deck — it is a historical document in playable form.

A vibrant full-color reproduction of Claude Burdel’s 18th-century Marseille woodcuts, the Tarot Classic was first published by U.S. Games Systems in 1974 and quickly became a foundational deck for English-speaking tarot readers. Curated by Stuart R. Kaplan, this edition faithfully preserves the medieval Marseille structure—with unillustrated pips, Justice as card VIII, and Strength as XI—while adopting Rider-Waite style titles such as "The High Priestess," "The Hierophant," "Wands," and "Pentacles."

The cards are printed in Switzerland by AG Müller and feature a plaid reversible back design. Includes the original multilingual instruction leaflet. A timeless classic, perfect for collectors and traditionalists alike.
