The Living Herbarium Playing Cards – Single Deck by Roomytown

Bring the quiet beauty of botanical study to your card games with The Living Herbarium Playing Cards by Roomytown.

Thoughtfully designed in Roomytown’s Bath studio, this distinctive deck features delicate floral illustrations sourced from an 18th-century herbarium created using nature-printing techniques in 1733.

Each of the 52 playing cards has been individually designed, celebrating the artistry and precision of early botanical documentation. The illustrations offer a fascinating glimpse into the plants that captivated naturalists nearly three centuries ago.

The reverse of each card features an elegant green vintage-weave pattern reproduced from a collection of 19th-century French textile samples by the Robert Maison company. This refined design perfectly complements the deck’s historic botanical theme.

Presented in a premium pull-drawer box, The Living Herbarium deck makes a thoughtful gift for gardeners, nature lovers, design enthusiasts and collectors of unusual playing cards. It is equally suited to family card games, entertaining guests or displaying as part of a coffee-table collection.
