Old Parchment Bicycle Playing Cards Deck

These cards have an old discolored paper look, that goes from lighter in the centers to darker at the edges on both the fronts and backs of the cards to give the look of aged, discolored, and even slightly burnt parchment (hence the name). The symmetrical backs contain a nice border within a border, with scrollwork inside of a circle at the center, almost representing somewhat of a Celtic look. The entire deck (two thru ten included) is completely custom, as the fonts and the pips are styled specifically to match the theme of the deck. There's a nice block border that "starts and stops" (that is to say, is broken) at each corner pip, so that the corner pips are not disturbed by the border. All aces have a rather large center pip adorned in the center with nice scrollwork. The deck also contains a double backer and two full sized jokers. The jokers are identical, save for the fact that on the staff of one joker is a jester head similar to the head of the jester holding the staff, but on the other joker the staff is headed with the horned skull of some sort of animal. This almost has a "Ninth Gate" type of feel (for those that have seen the movie) and makes you feel as if there is some hidden, sinister quality about the deck. Fantastic job all the way around in invoking such feelings, this is a fine deck indeed!
