I’ve been designing and illustrating custom playing cards for over a decade, driven by a deep obsession with history, storytelling, and intricate design. Every deck I create under Persian Playing Cards is fully re-imagined and carefully illustrated—blending fine detail, bold composition, and a collector’s eye for beauty. My work is inspired by eastern color palettes, ornamental motifs, antique stamp engravings, and the elegance of historic currency prints. I’m fascinated by how design once carried identity—how ink, pattern, and symbolism told stories long before screens did. That fascination lives in every card I create. It all started with a simple Reddit search for Persian playing cards. I stumbled across a forgotten deck first printed in 1925 in Spain—and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The typography. The borders. The cultural echoes hidden in the artwork. That moment sparked something. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to revive, reinterpret, and redesign Persian-inspired playing cards for a new generation—crafted for collectors, cardists, magicians, designers, and anyone who believes a deck of cards can be a piece of art.
