Facsimile deck made by Solleone and Vito Arienti in 1977, titled “Jeu Grotesque,” based upon a set of cards made in France c.1800. This Solleone facsimile set was made in a limited edition of 999 decks. The court cards are double ended in the sense that each end has a different “grotesque” image at each end, joined top-of-the-head to top-of-the-head in the middle, while the pip cards show 2 side profiles of different images that are joined at the back. It is a piquet deck, and would be complete at 32 suited cards, except for the 1 card that is missing. There is also a card introducing the deck. The cards are large, measuring 97mm x 63mm, on unfinished stock. They are “wrapped” around the middle, and come in the original box. NOTE - This deck was incorrectly deleted from the database and manually re-created.
