We only would mention, for very exigent amateurs, that it maybe possible that the steel key of the box, very pretty indeed, don't work very well. Rare to find in this very good condition, this stunning cards set was used in the 18th Century by the Fortune Tellers. The set is composed with 75 cards, so 3 cards are missing to do a complete set, and the missing are little cards, not figures. We love very much this set, and during the 30years of our antique dealer's life, found only two of this kind. The popular Art is here very present on design and colours.
Condition is excellent, and guaranteed so.
