Bicycle Steampunk Bronze Playing Cards

At the edge of industry, therein lies Steampunk.

Ripped from the pages of science fiction, the gears are turning, the steam is pumping, and the playing cards were finally born. It wasn’t easy. The paper used on these tuck cases did NOT exist.

We made the bronze paper from scratch in order to perfectly print the ink that covers its surface in 19th century Victorian machinery.

The boldly stamped, debossed elements cast shadows of illusion and create a perspective of depth and weight. The vents on top of the box invite you to take a look inside.

Opening the box, you will discover 52 pieces of machinery. The depth of the playing cards is fittingly unreal.
