Living Herbarium Playing Cards

Bring the quiet beauty of botanical study to your card games with the Living Herbarium Playing Cards, thoughtfully designed in-house by the Roomytown team in their Bath studio. This single deck includes 52 standard cards plus 2 jokers, each featuring delicate floral illustrations sourced from an 18th-century herbarium created using nature printing in 1733. Every card celebrates the artistry and detail of early botanical documentation, offering a window into the plants that captivated naturalists nearly three centuries ago.

The back of each playing card showcases a green vintage weave pattern reproduced from a collection of 19th century French textile samples from the Robert Maison company— elegant, refined, and perfectly suited to the botanical theme. Presented in a premium pull-drawer box, this deck makes a beautiful gift for garden lovers, design enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates timeless artwork. Ideal for family games, hosting, or displaying on a coffee table, it brings a touch of botanical charm to every shuffle.
