An attractive and complete miniature deck of traditional Italian playing cards, dating to the early decades of the 20th century, preserved together with its original cardboard box. The deck consists of 40 cards in the classic Italian suits (cups, coins, swords and batons), printed in chromolithography with vivid and still well-preserved colours. The graphic style is fully representative of popular Italian production of the period, with expressive court figures and finely detailed suit symbols. Particularly noteworthy is the miniature format (approx. 4 × 3 cm), characteristic of pocket or travel decks. Such small-format sets were produced for practical use, and complete examples with their original packaging have become increasingly desirable on the collectors’ market. The presence of the original box, bearing the inscription “Cartine da giuoco – Marca di fabbrica”, adds a significant element of authenticity and completeness, as these fragile containers are often lost over time. From a collecting perspective, this set stands out for its coherence, completeness and visual appeal, offering a well-balanced example of early 20th-century Italian popular printing, both decorative and historically evocative. Condition: The cards are in overall good condition, showing only light, even toning consistent with age and careful use. They remain well preserved, with no structural issues. The original box shows typical signs of age and handling, including light wear along the edges and minor surface marks, without affecting its integrity. A charming and increasingly collectible example of Italian miniature playing cards, combining completeness, original packaging and strong visual character. A well-balanced and complete example, combining original packaging and miniature format, increasingly sought after and seldom encountered in such coherent condition.
