The so-called Stuart-era design is one of the particularly decorative historical card designs produced by the Frankfurt playing card industry. The finely detailed, richly costumed court figures and floral decoration give this small Patience deck the elegant character typically associated with B. Dondorf.
This exceptionally well-preserved example dates from the 1920s and combines historic playing card artwork with high-quality craftsmanship.
