Maritime Curiosities — Specimens of the Sea Playing Cards
Inspired by the wonder of early curiosity cabinets, this deck showcases detailed illustrations of sea specimens drawn from 18th-century natural history books, originally created by European naturalists who documented the ocean's most intriguing creatures. Each card back is finished with a delicate lace motif on a soft blue ground. Each deck includes 52 standard cards plus 2 jokers, every one individually designed, and arrives in a premium pull-drawer box — a charming gift for game nights, hostesses, and anyone who loves beautiful design.
Artisan: Roomytown was founded by Argentinian-born designer Lorena Siminovich, who, after two decades working between New York and San Francisco, now runs her studio in Bath, England — calling it her most personal project yet. The studio is built around finding beauty in the forgotten: Lorena and her small team search out overlooked historical artwork, from archival engravings and botanical studies to vintage typography, and thoughtfully reimagine it for modern life. Blending old-world charm with contemporary design, Roomytown creates home accessories, stationery, games, and art prints in small batches using sustainably sourced paper, organic cotton, and enamel — each one made to share a story and to be loved for years to come.
