Contact seller5-star sellerAn elegantly rendered 19th-century French handmade card game with fine original gouache artwork, comprised of sixty (60) cards. Most likely a homemade variation of a "Memory" or "Keep Your Temper" style game where the object is to make the most matches or tricks. There are twelve (12) different images in multiples, including: Fr…ench flag; Red cross with vines; Blue belt; Red shield with checkered sash; Three intertwined rings; Blue shield with gold cross; Magenta and gold cross; Gold crescent moon; Crossed swords; Winged putti; Red shield with white sash and blue stars; and acorn. Each are in multiples of five, for a total of 60 cards. Each measures approx. 3.5" by 2.5", versos blank. Very good. Some finger soiling.

Contact seller4-star sellerA handmade parlor game housed in a blue paper covered pressed board box not original to the set. The top card reads "Keep Your Temper". All cards have hand penned borderlines. The game consists of 15 matching sets of four designs. The designs appear to have been cut from hand painted wallpaper designs. Each card measures 3" x 4…1/2". Presumably a a memory game to match patterns. Deterioration on ribbons on cover; otherwise fine.
