"ARABESQUE" Playing cards is probably the most technically challenging deck produced in modern playing card industry. And it has been masterfully executed... From the sculpture-like tuck case... To the double-foiled faces... And the incredibly intricate back design...all is near to perfection
Except for the fact that the 3 of hearts and 8 of Spades have the wrong suite indicators.
100 decks in a white stock tuck case were produced
"Arabesque" is the second deck in the "Heritage series" which started with ICONS and is the first deck ever to feature:
Extremely intricate Gold & Silver foil on both sides of each card, hot stamped over the printed artwork. This makes registration particularily difficult and it has never been attempted before.
CMYK + metallic gold inks on both sides of the cards.
Gold & Silver foil plus Embossing & Debossing for the tuck case, creating a unicue depth variation with an amazing effect in the light.
Smooth handling despite the quantity of foil, making the deck perfectly playable.
In 2017, award winning GOLDEN OATH playing cards was released: The first deck ever printed exclusively with hot stamped foils, which now is almost impossible to find. Before the final printing Lotrek had printed a limited run of 50 prototype decks that are slightly different from the final version: The stock is embossed on the faces' side, the back design has a red border around the gold frame -which in the final version was gone- and the varnish is also different.
The decks are in a plain red stock tuck case, hand numbered and signed.
