Golden Art Nouveau Tarot

This was my first purchased tarot deck. I went through all of the available decks on Amazon and this was the one that I was drawn to most, and it looks even better 'in the flesh'. It is faithful to the imagery in the original RWS deck but dials the image quality up to 100. I therefore couldn't resist buying the larger set of the major arcana cards as well plus the matching bag. If I could only own one deck, this would be it.

I didn't know I needed another tarot deck closely based on the Rider Waite deck. Until I laid eyes on this deck, the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot. I have a lot of tarot decks. Two things I look for in a deck. 1. Is it easy to read and based on the Rider Waite deck or follows the Thoth tarot. 2. Is the art attractive and engages me in the images. This deck answers both those questions with a resounding YES! The deck is astoundingly attractive and every card is accented with gold foil to varying degrees. The pictures are very close to the Rider Waite without actually being a clone deck; this means it's familiar and easy to read yet refreshing at the same time. The card stock is pretty good too, something I don't find is always true with Lo Scarabeo decks. The card stock is thin but flexible and resilient, it will be good for those who like to riffle shuffle and should last a good while. I wouldn't hesitate to use this deck with clients - it's rare that I feel a surge of excitement when I see a new tarot deck but this one managed to illicit that response. This deck is worth treating yourself to.

Stunning cards, these cards are so beautiful they are my current favourite and if you're familiar with the RWS deck then you will be able to read with this deck very easily. I'm a bit disappointed in the LWB as it doesn't include reversal meanings but it's not a big deal.

Beautiful deck, slightly smaller than your standard deck, I have a RWS deck measuring 70mm x 120mm, the golden art nouveau tarot measures 66mm x 120mm, not a problem for me as I have small hands. I love the artwork, the gold brings the cards to life, they feel magical. They have stayed true to the RWS artwork but amplified its beauty. The little white book is very brief, so I would suggest beginners to buy a separate book to learn card meanings etc. The box the deck comes in is quite flimsy, made of thin card, I cannot see this lasting for very long so I will probably buy a box or something to store my cards to keep them in good condition.

A beautiful deck, gold shimmering, lovely to shuffle made from solid cardstock and clear pretty artistry, making this a great quality deck to work with.

Really beautiful cards which are based on RWS, so easy to use and understand for beginners. The gold looks stunning and the facial expressions are very descriptive. The card stock is a little thin and the edges would fray with regular use. Overall good size and pretty but I don't use it often.

Really happy that I reordered for this deck. I wanted a deck that closely followed the style of the RWS, and I found this gem! Originally I received a used one but I was able to return it easily. This came in brand spanking new. This was received in a plastic package. And the deck itself was wrapped up as well! Quality is really nice. The artwork is beautiful. Shuffling is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼and the cards glide together nicely. If you small hands, its comfortable to use! I would buy this again just if my current gets worn out for usage!

These illustrations are GORGEOUS. AND they’re gilded. I couldn’t recommend them more. I’m thinking of buying more than one deck just because. The quality is excellent.

The cards are beautiful, the picture just doesn't do it justice. The gold is so shimmery. They feel sturdy. There is a small guide book, but it doesn't really tell you the meaning, it's more like a description of the card. I'm very happy with it.

Un très beau tarot à avoir dans sa collection, j'adore le style art déco et art nouveau, ici les dorures donnent encore plus de cachet à ce jeu, l'art florale le sublime. Les couleurs sont vives (beaucoup de rouge, marron et jaune tout de même😊) les visages des personnages expressifs, et on sent vraiment le mouvement et l'ambiance véhiculé pour le sens des cartes. Un tarot qui suit le classique Raider Waite pour l'interprétation. Lo Scarabéo signe ici un très très beau deck. Reçu en 1 journée avec la livraison prime, merci Amazon.

Esse deck é muito bonito e impressionante. Pessoalmente, ele é ainda mais bonito do que nas fotos — extremamente brilhoso e com um visual que realmente chama atenção. Sobre o tamanho: ele não é um deck grande. Para quem procura cartas maiores, talvez não seja o ideal. Mas, para mim, o tamanho foi perfeito, pois ele encaixa muito bem nas mãos e é ótimo para embaralhar. As cartas deslizam muito bem durante a tiragem. O material lembra bastante o de cartas de baralho tradicional, o que torna o manuseio fácil e confortável. Em relação à espessura, as cartas são finas e bem maleáveis. Então, se você prefere cartas mais duras e firmes, talvez não seja a melhor opção. Mas, se gosta de cartas flexíveis, você vai curtir. No geral, valeu muito a pena a compra. Não me arrependi e recomendo, principalmente pela beleza e pelo brilho do deck. Comprei a versão do tamanho normal, padrão, da Editora Llewellyn Publications, paguei R$190,95. Chegou antes do prazo. Fiquem atentos para não cairem em golpes. Quando o deck chegou na alfândega, recebi uma mensagem no WhatsApp informando que o deck estava detido na alfândega e precisava pagar uma taxa de importação para liberar, porém essa mensagem é golpe. No momento da compra já está incluso os impostos e taxas da importação.

This product arrived promptly and as expected with out issues. Arrived in a bubble mailer and undamaged. I was originally worried about the quality of the foil but the prints look fantastic against it and it doesn't seem cheap in the context of the artwork. It compliments the illustrations nicely and is not overly reflective while still maintaining that metallic finish. The images themselves are clean and crisp and hold the colors vibrantly. The card stock isn't as thick as some tarot cards, but it's nice and smooth as opposed to the textured look that playing cards can have. I think it'd have benefited from being a touch thicker, but is perfectly serviceable as is. Really the only thing that I have any issue with. The book it provides is in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The descriptions of the cards are exactly that; more common descriptors of generalized events of the cards than direct translations of meaning, so a novice like myself will need a few supplemental sources to help learn meanings and intricacies. The box is guided in the same foil as the cards and is about the same quality as a regular deck of cards' box. The illustrations on it are of the same quality of the cards themselves and the text is thoughtfully placed to reduce visual noise and works well as a design and not just a hastily constructed sales pitch.

Very picturefull with a lot of gold color. Very nice!
