Metallic Decks

Tarot decks with gold or silver foil in the card images.

Golden Botticelli Tarot The Golden Botticelli Tarot was created by the talented Atanassov in the style of the Italian Renaissance artist, Botticelli, who is most famous for the Birth of Venus. The 78 cards are fully illustrated and have small gold elements in the patterns and backgrounds.

Golden Tarot of Klimt The Golden Tarot of Klimt is inspired by the artistic style of early twentieth-century Austrian painter, Gustav Klimt. The art is vivid and sensual, interspersed with mosaic patterns and accented with gold metallic accents.

Golden Tarot of the Renaissance The Golden Tarot of the Renaissance is based on the fifteenth-century French deck, the Charles VI (also known as the Estensi) of which only 17 cards remain. Lo Scarabeo's full set of 78 cards have been created in attractive watercolours and finished with a gold leaf background.

Golden Tarot of the Tsar A luxurious looking tarot based on the iconic art of Russian Orthodox Christianity. The Golden Tarot of the Tsar is one of Lo Scarabeo's metallic decks - the saints and biblical scenes have textured gold backgrounds.

Mantegna Tarot This wonderful deck is a tarot ancestor, with only fifty cards. The Mantegna Tarot artwork, originally created in 1460, has been recoloured and highlighted with silver. What appears as mottled dark grey in the digital scans is actually bright silver foil.

Nefertari's Tarot An ancient Egyptian Tarot themed deck with a difference - Nefertari's Tarot has a background of goil foil on the cards. This deck is stunning, though the digital images look nowhere near as good as the actual cards.

Tarot of Visconti Grand Trumps Tarot of Visconti Grand Trumps is a majors-only edition of the Visconti Tarot, and has 22 large cards with black borders and a gold metallic treatment on the artwork.

Visconti Tarot A restoration of one of the oldest tarots, the Visconti-Sforza cards. The symbolism is the same in this version, but the Visconti Tarot cards have clearer colours and there are metallic gold leaf highlights and backgrounds. (The gold doesn't show up well in scans, unfortunately.)
