Dondorf x Black Roses
Added 2020-12-12 14:31:20 +0000 UTCThe current delays at USPCC completely mess up my schedule. I thought about a summer Kickstarter launch. Normally enough months left to finish the deck. But with a production time of four months, the deck should normally go into production now.
I try to finish the Dondorf x Black Roses deck with the biggest respect for the original design. So you can imagine how much time I put into every detail. The worst thing would be to rush anything. So the deck is done when it's done.
I bought these two decks on ebay. Yes the scotch tape was already on the deck... Both decks must be over 100 years old so I just barely want to touch them. If I have to I'm really really carefully. I redesigned the tuck so that it fits on a standard USPCC tuck. Even though I would love to see the deck with the original tuck box design. Maybe I'm able to produce a few original boxes.
The right tuck box also has linen finish. That is also a beautiful detail for the reprint.
As you can see on the image, the back design is on the front of the box and the Dondorf logo is on the back. Also a nice little detail that you didn't see on a lot decks.
Thanks for being here and happy weekend!

I‘m not 100% sure anymore how I found them. Maybe on ebay or just on google. However, the whole story of the Dondorf Playing Card Company fascinated me so much that I knew I need to do something so that this beautiful art doesn't get lost.

2020-12-14 15:18:08 +0000 UTCThe original tuck box design looks pretty cool, the elongated flap and the linen finish make it interesting, it would be great if you are able to produce it. Nice deck, I'm sure is going to be amazing

2020-12-14 03:22:06 +0000 UTCThe back design is what you see on the left tuck in the render. That‘s an original back design. But originally it wasn‘t in poker size. I had to change it.

2020-12-12 19:36:35 +0000 UTCWill you be using the Black Roses motif for the card backs, or one of the Dondorf designs, or some sort of blend of the two?

2020-12-12 15:12:56 +0000 UTCI bet those old decks saw some interesting things being dealt out around a card table🤓👍 What an engaging design?! Definitely has a winter type feel but I don't think is relegated to that; suitable for all seasons. A lovely way of resurrecting a gorgeous deck!
