Description
These playing cards come in a slim metal tin, and every card back carries the Wild Flowers print: a busy meadow of red poppies, pink foxgloves, blue cornflowers and orange and yellow blooms on a soft white ground, with the words Wild Flowers lettered at the top. The lid of the tin wears the same flowery print, titled Wild Flowers Playing Cards, while the base is a cool turquoise. Turn a card over and you find a classic face: crisp white card, red hearts and diamonds, black spades and clubs, traditional court cards in red, blue and yellow, and large corner figures that are easy to read across the table. The tin is 10.2cm long, 7.2cm wide and 2.1cm deep.
A deck of cards earns its keep wherever people gather. Keep this one in a kitchen drawer for a quick hand after dinner, on a living room shelf for rainy afternoons, or in a bag for picnics, holidays and train journeys. The tin weighs just 0.13KG and slips into a coat pocket or rucksack without fuss, keeping the deck together and tidy between games. The cards suit any game you know, from snap and rummy with friends to a quiet round of patience on your own, and the floral backs bring a little of the summer hedgerow to the table while you play.
The tin is metal and the cards are card. The lid closes neatly over the deck, so nothing goes astray at the bottom of a bag. To keep the set looking its best, wipe the tin with a soft dry cloth and keep the cards dry and away from spilt drinks so they stay flat and shuffle smoothly. Because it comes in its own printed tin, it makes an easy gift to wrap, and once the first hand is dealt it earns a permanent spot by the sofa or in the holiday bag.
