Antique Italian "Scopa" or "Briscola" Playing Cards

This unique set of antique Italian playing cards was traditionally used for games like Scopa and Briscola. The deck has aged beautifully over time with a warm patina and vibrant colored illustrations. What makes this deck particularly special is the Fernet-Branca adverting backs, suggesting they were a promotional item for the famous Italian liqueur in the late 19th to early 20th century. Cards measure 3.75" x 2".
