This is an original Wooden Tarot Deck fashioned by a true old world artisan and based on the artwork of
the Children's story book Illustrator, Arthur Rackham from the early 1900's. Some of the timeless tales that these beautiful
illustrations came from include, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Grethel, Snow White, Mother Goose, Aesop's Fables,
Brother's Grimm, and many Fairy Tales from around the world including Ireland, Great Britain and Eastern Europe. Each item is
painstakingly made by hand. No two are ever
exactly alike. In the past, even used decks of this style received considerable interest from tarot enthusiasts. However,
this Limited Edition deck is from a series of only 100 and is offered here brand new and unused. This deck comes directly
from the maker with a matching Fairy Tale-themed box and a Certificate of Authenticity.
Both the box AND the cards of this amazing Tarot Set are made from wood, not cardboard. This full 78-card tarot deck has been crafted in the same old world style as the masters with the highest quality wood for maximum durability as a working tool as well as an heirloom item.
This remarkable tarot deck is perfect for anyone passionate about reading the tarot. It is also ideal for
lovers of original Fairy Tale and Fantasy collectibles.
Auction includes: 1 78-card wooden tarot deck (major and minor arcanas) with the original Fairy Tale theme
AND 1 tarot
box
designed to safely store all the unique cards inside.
The box has an image of Little Miss Muffett sitting with her back to a large spider who approaches her
bearing a smile and top hat. The caption on the box reads: "Rackham's Fairy Tale Tarot".
The edges of the cards are trimmed in METALLIC GOLD. The edging stands out well against the rich dark wood
finish found on the backs of each of the cards.
