Vintage De La Rue “Crown” Playing Cards - Complete Deck (52 Cards + 2 Jokers)

A beautifully preserved piece of British printing history, this vintage Crown playing card deck was manufactured by the renowned De La Rue Stationers, London, a name long associated with exquisite design and craftsmanship. Housed in its original box, worn in all the right places, with the kind of gentle patina only decades of careful keeping can create, this set is both complete and charming, containing all 52 standard cards plus both jokers.

The backs feature a striking red geometric and floral design, wonderfully crisp against the soft ageing of the card stock. The face illustrations retain their bold colour and character, while the joker card is a miniature artwork in itself: playful, theatrical, and unmistakably of its era.

Perfect for collectors of antique and mid-century games, lovers of British design heritage, or anyone who enjoys styling with vintage ephemera. Whether displayed in a vignette, used for crafting or photography, or kept as a functional deck for game nights, this set carries a timeless sense of character and charm.

Condition: signs of age and wear to the box, all cards are in excellent condition.
