Caitlín Matthews' Daveluy Lenormand Deck c.1860

$43.00

*Attention* Lenormand cards will now be poker size 2 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches. My printer discontinued bridge size cards.

This Daveluy Lenormand deck was originally produced in Bruges, Belgium c. 1860.

According to the World of Playing Cards website, Daveluy created original graphics for the their playing cards and favored making retro illustrations for their cards. In the mid-nineteenth century retro meant that the depicted images in the cards were medieval and renaissance characters. You can see these choices in the royalty figures in the playing card inserts in the Lenormand cards.

Caitlin Matthews may still have some copies left so if you are in Europe postage will be less. Contact her directly here: [email protected].

Caitlín also translated the verses into English and wrote an outline of the Near and Fa/Distance method of reading. The French words on the cards are guidance for reading by the Distance method, the very first written way for interpreting Lenormand. She may still have copies available. You can contact her at [email protected]. .

This deck is printed on premium card stock that feels wonderful in hand.

Be sure to check out the original Philippe Le Normand instruction sheet in the 'Info' column on the right side of the screen. Right click on the image and select "view image" so you can print it.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

Delivery can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks. Please be patient.

I use a different printer for ex-USA buyers because the international postage from the US-based printer is extremely high. For international buyers the tarot size cards come in a plain tuck box and Lenormand cards come in a clear plastic box because that printer doesn't offer reasonably priced custom printed boxes. The decks come with a title card you can affix to the boxes, if desired.

SHIPPING NOTE -- PLEASE READ.

To keep down the shipping costs, I send the cards via regular mail. If you want upgraded service, contact me I can let you know what the additional charge will be. If the postal system in your country is questionable, you may want to invest in registered mail which is signed for each time it passes through someone's hands and almost guaranteed that your package will arrive safely.

I have had only 2 packages go missing, and I refunded the purchase price including shipping. Since it's not my fault when a package goes missing I WILL NOT take responsibility anymore, but I also don't want to raise shipping for everyone. The 2 places where the packages went missing were India and Brazil. UPDATE: I just had one go missing in Ukraine.

I only ship Registered Mail to Russia.
