1930 Tarot de Marseille Deck & Guidebook

A restored historic Tarot de Marseille deck inspired by the rare 1930 Grimaud edition

The 1930 Tarot de Marseille Deck & Guidebook is a carefully restored reproduction of a rare and historically significant Tarot de Marseille originally printed by B.P. Grimaud of Paris in 1930. Shortly after its release, production was discontinued due to the outbreak of World War II, leaving very few surviving copies in circulation today.

Many original decks that do exist are fragile or incomplete. This restored edition was created from an original example that has been meticulously recovered, refined, and reprinted, preserving the integrity, character, and visual language of this elusive Marseille deck while making it accessible to modern readers and collectors.

The deck retains the bold line work, expressive figures, and traditional colour palette that define early 20th-century Tarot de Marseille printing. Its larger card size enhances visibility and presence during readings, making it particularly appealing for study, historical comparison, and ceremonial use.

Printed on quality 350 gsm card stock and proudly made in the USA, this deck balances durability with a traditional feel, honouring the original while ensuring it can be used and enjoyed rather than kept hidden away.

Ideal for tarot historians, Marseille enthusiasts, collectors, and readers who appreciate classic structure and symbolism, this deck offers a tangible connection to tarot’s living history.
