Details + Condition: Vintage Stairs of Gold Tarot cards, a first edition deck from 1979. The major arcana in this complex Italian deck are filled with symbolism, including Hebrew, Sanskrit, and Celestial letters, Vulgar Latin, Zodiacal correspondences, and the Path of the Tree of Life on each card. Includes box, instruction booklet, and tarot cards. Lovely 80-page instruction booklet was also created by Tavaglione, using hand-lettered calligraphy. The complete set of 78 cards are all present, AND remain in their original card order, as they are unused. The instruction booklet is clean and has not been used. The box is sturdy and has some shelf wear, mainly at edges and corners. From the collection of a tarot and playing-card enthusiast, who amassed the cards in the 1970s and '80s (please see our other listings for the collection).
