Created in the 1890s under Georges Marteau, the Louis XV deck was designed for Parisian salons, evoking the opulence of King Louis XV’s court, with illustrations by Art Nouveau artist Jules Habert-Dys.
Printed in chromolithography in signature dolphin blue and coral red, its craftsmanship earned a gold medal at the World’s Fair. Today, the Louis XV deck returns, faithfully recreated by French artisans from illustration to embossed packaging crafted in Paris’s Bastille district.
