The Tarot Vintage (Waite) deck, a creation of Arthur Edward Waite, Pamela Colman Smith, and Sasha Graham, offers a fresh take on the classic Rider-Waite-Smith imagery. The deck is designed with a linen-finish and antiqued look, providing a historical and vintage feel. The selectively colored figures and objects set against an aged background give these cards a well-used, cherished appearance.

Retaining the iconic symbolism of the original Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, this deck is perfect for readers seeking a blend of traditional and historical vibes in their readings. The vintage aesthetic adds depth to the symbolic meanings, resonating with tarot enthusiasts who appreciate the blend of old and new.
