Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg
Oh, how I love these guilded decks! Against the black backdrop of these cards, the lavish guilding is fabulous. This deck follows the Rider-Waite style with only a few deviations. The tower is called the falling tower, wands are clubs, and pentacles are coins. Even though this deck is large (for me), the art takes up a small space in order to allow for the extensive guilding. I wouldn't mind less guilding and larger pictures (gasp).
Cards measure about 2.75 by 4.75 inches, which is large for my hands, but not impossible. Card stock is very good, and these cards will definatley stand up to lots of use.
I recommend this deck for anyone who loves guilding, as I do. Collectors will also want to add it to their collection. Beginners should be able to use it, as symbolism is readily apparent.
