Discover timeless elegance with the Piatnik Paisley playing cards, a stunning geometric design that celebrates the intricate beauty of traditional paisley patterns. Part of Piatnik's Design & Gift Collection, these cards feature richly detailed paisley motifs that bring sophistication and visual interest to every card in the deck.
The paisley pattern has captivated collectors and artists for centuries, originating from Persian textile designs and celebrated across European decorative arts. Piatnik's interpretation of this classic design translates the ornate, flowing botanical and swirling geometric forms characteristic of paisley into an elegant playing card back that appeals to traditional players and modern collectors alike. Each card showcases the intricate details and balanced symmetry of the paisley design, creating a visually harmonious experience whether you're playing Bridge, Hearts, Gin Rummy, or simply displaying these beautiful decks in your collection.
Crafted by Piatnik in Vienna, Austria, these playing cards represent over 200 years of card-making excellence. Ferdinand Piatnik founded the company in 1824 after taking over Anton Moser's playing card manufactory, and the family business has remained synonymous with premium quality playing cards throughout nearly two centuries of continuous operation. The Piatnik factory has become a recognized symbol of Vienna, a city of card players and board game enthusiasts where traditional games have never lost their appeal.
These De Luxe series cards are produced using only the finest raw materials with especially attractive design themes that make them ideally suited as gifts for special occasions. Piatnik's superior manufacturing standards ensure vibrant colors and exceptional durability through state-of-the-art offset printing technology with inline coating. Piatnik ensures only sustainable raw materials flow into the production process, using high-grade paper and carton processed with renewable fuels, with inks and varnishes that are scrub-resistant and biodegradable.
The Paisley design comes in both single deck and double deck configurations, offering flexibility depending on whether you're looking for a single replacement deck or a complete pair for Bridge, Canasta, Gin Rummy, or other two-deck games. Each deck contains 55 cards (52 playing cards plus 2 jokers and 1 blank card), and the standard 58 x 89mm size makes them compatible with card holders and cases.
Whether you're a serious card player seeking a superior-quality deck, a collector of decorative playing cards, or searching for an elegant gift for someone who appreciates fine design and craftsmanship, the Piatnik Paisley deck delivers timeless style and functionality in perfect balance.
