Like many people, I have a Thoth deck-I know that they are in the Art Deco style. Does anyone know of any other decks-Tarot or oracle-that could be described as Art Deco ? thank you rosyelf

Whatever it is, I like it and will probably buy it.

hmm. Folchi's Homage to Erte deck seems to bridge that gap between art nouvea and art deco. really lovely pieces. and rare too.

The Crystal Tarots by Elistabetta Trevisan has a bit of an Art Deco look to many of the cards. It's a beautiful deck that deserves more attention! http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/crystal-tarots/

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. These 3 have been noted down. As Sod's Law would have it, the one I would really like, the Erte, is truly rare and correspondingly expensive. (At this point, there is meant to be an Emoticon looking slightly disheartened but not defeated ! For some reason , my computer has placed said Emoticon at top of message. Advice, anyone ?) once again, thanks for the imput, rosyelf

if it is any consolation whatsover (as i freel your pain [insert melodrama here] for them Folchis), the Erte, though very very beautiful, seems quite difficult to read with. ;)

Bluefusion, thank you-that is a consolation. I may settle for some lovely Erte cards instead (postcards, I mean, not Tarot cards)- still beautiful, and much less damaging to my bank account.
