I sold most of my antiquarian Tarot decks a number of years ago. I kept this one. Now it is time for it to find another home.
The deck is in exquisite condition. The cards match the 6 Major Arcana on the Camoin site in extraordinary detail- to the detail of the breaks on the borders and printed text anomalies.
I will service any requests for more information from this site. Any offers for the deck should be sent to my email account: rmueller9@optonline.net
I paid 4 figures for the deck over 10 years ago, so its not a meager acquisition. Back then, before the Tarot craze, it was extremely difficult to find antiquarian Tarot decks. Now, it is almost impossible.
The best situation is if one can meet, look at the deck and happily purchase it- if that is ones desire. If not, and it is mailed to you, I will gladly guarantee your purchase and refund the entire price is you buy it and are not satisfied.

Hello rmueller,
It is great to see such an historical deck beeing sold here.
Two years ago, I saw in Swiss same deck in a Museum and was authorised to take full pictures of it.
I just add that his back was pink watered a typical design for this period too.
But your back (Blue with little "rocks) is also typical from this period.
I can confirms this by my genuine Nicolas Conver deck who is dated by a french expert from circa 1850 and this Conver deck has SAME back like your Bernardin. Blue with little rocks.
Your deck appears in very good condition and even if I will not bid on it (I have other priorities), I am sure that his future owner will contemplate a real historical deck.
If you have other historical decks, please informs me and I could be interested.
I.e I have a Renault deck and two Majors Arcana are missing on it only:
Junon (who replace Papesse II as Tarot of Besancon Pattern) and Temperance (XIIII card).
Best regards from Marseille France

Ives,
Thanks for the information. I have found it almost impossible to get any feedback from any sources.
Unfortunately, this is the only antiquarian deck I have left.
Thanks,
Rich
