Playing Cards

$34.50 NZD

The John Derian playing cards are based on a deck of French transformation cards called Jeanne Hachette c. 1870 by Grimaud. John updated the deck he found into a standard deck to include two jokers and indices. As an avid card player, John thought what better way to share his love for vintage ephemera than to reproduce those cards.

ABOUT the MAKER

John Derian

John Derian’s decoupage collection brings timeless artistry into the home. Since 1989, his New York-based studio has become renowned for its handcrafted objects d’art, with each piece created using 18th- and 19th-century imagery sourced from his extensive archive of antique and vintage prints. Carefully cut, collaged, and applied by trained artisans onto handblown glass, these evocative objects are equal parts functional and collectible. The result is a poetic fusion of past and present—beautiful heirlooms made to be treasured.
