The John Derian playing cards are based on a deck of French transformation cards called Jeanne Hachette c. 1870 by Grimaud. John updated the deck he found into a standard deck to include two jokers and indices. As an avid card player, John thought what better way to share his love for vintage ephemera than to reproduce those cards.

ABOUT JOHN
John’s early obsession with printed matter ultimately led him to decoupage, the art of cutting and pasting paper. Since 1989, he and a small studio of artisans in New York City have been creating glass plates, trays, bowls, and other decorative home items with imagery from his vast and ever-expanding collection of 18th and 19th century prints. His pieces are coveted and collected across the globe.
