A charming and increasingly hard-to-find Vintage Royal Tarot deck, produced in Taiwan and inspired by the traditional Tarot de Marseille iconography.

This deck reflects a fascinating era of tarot production, when classic European designs were reinterpreted for international markets — resulting in unique variations in color, line work, and overall aesthetic.

📅 Dating: circa 1980s–1990s (Taiwan export edition)
Produced during the late 20th century, when Taiwan became a major hub for tarot and playing card manufacturing, this deck is a perfect example of globalized tarot production — blending European tradition with international distribution.

Simple, bold, and highly readable, the Royal Tarot offers a clean and accessible version of the Marseille tradition, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned readers who appreciate stripped-down symbolism.

🔹 78 cards (complete deck)
🔹 Classic Marseille-style imagery
🔹 Language: English (card titles)
🔹 Includes small instruction leaflet in Czech (Central European edition)
🔹 Made in Taiwan (vintage export edition)
🔹Card size (approx.): ~ 60 x 100 mm (based on standard format for this type of deck)

🪶 Collector’s Note

Vintage Taiwanese tarot decks like this one are part of an important yet often overlooked chapter in tarot history, when production expanded globally and classic designs were adapted for wider audiences.

Increasingly collectible, especially in complete condition with box and leaflet.

A fascinating historical variant of the Tarot de Marseille, the Tarot Arista (created by J.M. Simon and published by Grimaud in 1964) is a true collector’s gem.
This unusual deck reproduces the classic Marseille images as small black-and-white line drawings, surrounded by textual interpretations, making it both a divination tool and a study deck.

🔹 Year: 1964 (Out of Print)
🔹 Country: France
🔹 Cards: 78
🔹 Leaflet: Original French instruction booklet included

A rare historical tarot for collectors, Marseille enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deck with a truly distinctive interpretive system.

🪶 Collector’s Note

The 1964 Tarot Arista was printed only once and has never been reissued in this form.
Its combination of Marseille imagery, astrological symbols, and dual interpretations gives it a scholarly charm that appeals to serious collectors.
Early France-Cartes productions from this era are increasingly hard to find complete, making this deck a desirable and uncommon addition to any tarot library.
