Additional Information
Restoration Process
The restoration consisted of meticulously redrawing and recoloring the images. We also clarified many of the details to create consistency. Our goal was not to create an exact reproduction, but an elegant and refined deck that inspires the imagination of the modern reader.
Historical Information
Due to the age and craftsmanship of the original deck, many details are indistinct. Conditions of the time required cardmakers to labor quickly under a strict work environment, which led to this deck’s unique character.
There are many uncertainties surrounding the production of these cards. Most of the images are mirrored compared to its contemporaries, the style of the artwork varies throughout the deck, and the placement of the numerals and text suggest that they were added separately to the original design.
This deck was digitally recreated by Krisztina Kondor with the assistance of William Rader. They studied the images and researched their history to clarify and reveal hidden areas. To create consistency, the same color palette as used throughout the deck. The misaligned coloring was corrected and the details were also enhanced.
Advances in card manufacturing have allowed this historic deck to be refined for the modern world.

All round awesome product and shopping experiance!!! 5 Star +++
Great deck! The colors are bright and vibrant! The detail in the art work is clear and crisp! Nice sturdy card stock!
This Tarot is a masterpiece. Astounding craftsmanship. This deck is a beautiful and sensitive interpretation of the Jacques Vieville Tarot and is a joy to use.
Fantastic service, prompt professional - all arrived in perfect condition.
Another wonderful deck from Artisan Tarot! The clear lines, choice of colour and superb linen card stock in all their decks make them my GO TO tarot decks of choice! The Jacques Vieville Tarot is full of character in its discrepancies from other TDM decks and Artisan have captured the full character and charm of this deck. THANK YOU all who worked on this amazing deck!
Le plus original des tarots originels !!! Une belle restitution de ce chef d'oeuvre ! The most original of the original tarot cards!!! A beautiful restitution of this masterpiece!
Amazing deck. Now I see why Artisan has such a good name! The card quality is amazing, and I love the linen feel. They shuffle so well and slip against each other without flying out. And the printing is impeccable. So, so attractive. Have already bought more Artisan decks.
If you think this deck looks beautiful on-line, just wait until you get it into your hands and see it in person. It is truly stunning. I love the cardstock (think U.S. Games), and service was excellent. A Claude Burdel deck? A Pierre Madenie? One can only hope!
This is a beautiful re-creation of an interesting and quirky old deck. The clean line art faithfully captures the expressiveness of the original faces. That, plus the color palette and shading make this one of the best-looking restorations ever, and Artisan's card stock make it a pleasure to use.
Beautiful work.
Beautiful deck! Loved it! ♥️
A few weeks ago, I received my order from Artisan Tarot. Upon opening the package, I discovered that the shipment labels might been switched, resulting in the delivery of an entirely different item. However, after contacting William from Artisan Tarot, the matter was quickly resolved without any hesitation. The professionalism and willingness to rectify the situation demonstrated by Artisan Tarot were commendable. While unforeseen circumstances can arise, it is the way they are handled that truly showcases a company's reliability. Thanks to William the issue was swiftly addressed, and I received the correct order yesterday. Now, let's talk about the deck itself. It is beautiful! Artisan Tarot does a remarkable job of redesigning decks, drawing inspiration from the intricate artistry of 16th and 17th-century originals. The attention to detail and the careful craftsmanship shines through in every card. What sets this deck apart is the quality of the card stock used. The weight and texture of the cards are superb, providing a satisfying tactile experience as you shuffle and handle them. The durability of the card stock ensures that the deck will withstand the test of time, allowing you to continue enjoying them for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend this deck to any tarot enthusiast or collector. Their dedication to customer satisfaction, coupled with their commitment to creating visually stunning and durable decks, make Artisan Tarot a reliable and trustworthy partner.
Absolutely stunning deck. Thank you for the care and the card stock!
A wonderful deck! the Vieville Tarot has survived the passage of time and Artisan Tarot has managed to bring it back to it's youth! Cannot wait to see their future projects.

Charmé par ce très joli tarot. Quel plaisir de pouvoir distinguer correctement les tracés par rapport au bac-similé ! Les cartes sont d'une parfaite qualité. Tellement hâte de découvrir votre version de l'Anonyme Parisien !!
Jacques Vieville is a beautiful and unique deck. The colours and images are great. It is also really nice to shuffle and the quality of it is feels really good.
Excellent reproduction/reimagining of the Jacques Vieville Tarot. Great quality cards. Artisan has once again made a great new/old deck for the intrepid cartomancer.
This is a stunning deck; the quality is wonderful and the colors are so vivid. They shuffle splendidly, light and buttery, couldn't be happier!
The Vieville deck is wonderful. The cardstock is excellent quality & reproduction is beautiful. It's a bit larger than the Noblet deck but still easy to shuffle. On top of that the service I received was exceptional. If you collect historical reproduction tarot like I do then this is definitely a great place to explore. Thank you!
As always the deck arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It is another valuable addition to my collection.
This is my 3rd or 4th deck from Artisan Tarot and the fact that I keep ordering them shows that I am very happy with their product. These are the best quality decks that I know of if you want tarot cards that can be shuffled and handled as easily as the best poker decks. The artwork is extremely well done. Vieville is an interesting variant of TdM and opens up new possibilities for readings.
