Carnival Painted Wood Playing Cards
About the Item
Whimsical, intricately carved wooden playing cards, believed to hail from a lively carnival of the late 1970s. This enchanting piece exudes a sense of playful nostalgia, crafted to capture a late 1970s festive spirit. We imagine it displayed near a vintage game table or perched above a well-curated bar cart, adding a touch of charm and character to any space.
The cards boast a delightful original patina, the result of years spent outdoors, allowing the natural elements to gently shape their weathered beauty. Distinct marks of history remain—subtle discoloration and the original drill holes that hint at the piece's long-lived story and its connection to the carefree atmosphere of a bygone time. A truly unique find, brimming with character and whimsy.
