Playing cards originated in China, spreading to Persia and India and arriving in Medieval Europe (14th Century) along the Silk Road and other trade routes. Medieval playing cards, especially luxurious, hand-painted decks such as those commissioned by nobility, were kept in elaborately decorated, fabric-lined or painted boxes, signifying their high value and artistic worth. They were cherished more for their artistry than for actual use in games, and were only occasionally taken out to be gazed upon and admired. Some decks with gilded backgrounds and careful borders made them appear like tiny, valuable paintings. Less valuable, mass-produced cards were kept in simpler containers.

This is a PDF image file (.pdf). It is an INSTANT digital download of 4 double-sided printables, making 2 x decks of Miniature Playing Cards and their respective boxes.

This download has 8 x pages in total:

2 x Printables of 52 Medieval Playing Cards (and 2 Jesters). Each of the decks has a different backing pattern.

2 x Cutting templates for a wooden box. Each template has a different painting on the inside of the box lid, and a different inner box lining.

The printables are in accurate 1:12 scale. The DIY assembly of these printables will produce authentic-looking Mini Medieval Playing Cards and boxes.

The miniature card decks have 4 customized Medieval suits and have a suitably ancient look. The cards fit snugly inside their storage boxes, in two equal piles. They are perfect accessories for 1:12 scale mini castles, Medieval dioramas and every dollhouse library!

For best results, the playing cards should be printed on cardstock (160gsm) – https://amzn.to/45Dcgx4 and the box templates should be printed on cardstock (200gsm) – https://amzn.to/46wMXyG. Please see further details under product ‘Description’.
