Whether you’re heading to a lake house for the weekend, staying with friends, or looking for a thoughtful gift that blends style and substance, this compact set makes a memorable impression. It pairs beauty with utility: a game to gather around and a handcrafted tray to use long after the weekend ends.
Inside are two stunning decks of Artisan Playing Cards - one black, one white - each designed by Simon Frouws and praised by David Copperfield as “the best playing cards ever produced.” Gold foil accents and FSC-certified papers elevate them above the ordinary, making them as enjoyable to handle as they are to display.
The black leather valet tray is handmade in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, using thick, vegetable-tanned American cowhide. It’s a practical piece for corralling keys, coins, or keepsakes—and a satisfying reminder of time well spent.
Rounding out the set: six antique-style poker chips embossed with The Spirit of St. Louis, a tribute to American aviation and a nostalgic touch for any card table. Each set includes two chips in red, white, and blue.
*Please note: Playing cards that have been opened (removed from their original outer cellophane) are not returnable.
