Limited Edition Cammeo Playing Cards by Vincenzo Alfano are a celebration of handmade art, creativity, and the importance of working with your hands. Limited to only 1,500 decks. Will not be reprinted.
Cameos have a rich history dating back to Egypt in 15,000 BC, where petroglyphs were carved into rock to record events. A cameo is a jewel created by engraving layered stone or shell.
Collectors appreciate the rare art of cameo sculpting, whose craftsmanship has been passed down for generations in Torre del Greco, near Naples, Italy.
As rare as this skill, Cammeo Playing Cards will be just as collectible. Each of the 1,500 decks has a numbered seal.
Inspired by the age-old tradition of fine craftsmen and carvers, every detail of Cammeo Playing Cards has been thoughtfully designed and painstakingly created.
The backs feature intertwining rings and hourglasses, symbolizing the passage of time and the dedication required to engrave the intricate facial features and individual curls surrounding the beautiful cameo faces.
Every card has been spectacularly redesigned using actual artwork by cameo artists for the faces. The court cards boast spectacular color and detail.
Every aspect of these cards—from the pips to the indices and even the borders—is astounding.
Cammeo Playing Cards capture the essence of art, tradition, and history in a beautiful story told through 56 cards printed by USPCC. Add these incredibly special cards to your collection before they’re gone.
