About this deck

The Marseille Vintage Tarot by Anna Maria Morsucci and Mattio Ottolini is a beautifully designed reissue of the classic Marseille tarot deck, with a unique vintage look. The 78 cards are designed with a subtly aged background and a warm, muted color scheme that evokes the feeling of an ancient, cherished deck. A perfect combination of historical authenticity and modern production quality.

Background and imagery

The imagery is faithful to the traditional Marseille symbolism, with clear lines, classic facial expressions and numerical simplicity. What sets this deck apart is its antique aesthetic: it's like working with a deck straight out of the 17th century. The colors are softer than standard Marseille decks, which provides a warm, peaceful reading experience and a feeling of deep connection with the tarot tradition.

how the deck comes to life in readings

The vintage style helps you delve into the archetypal images while wearing leggings without being distracted by bright colors or modern influences.
