Chao: Vermilion Red

Inspired by over 5,000 years of China's extraordinary history.

Chao, the pronounced word for 'dynasty' in Chinese, is distinguished by the name and impact of an individual over a given period of time. Chao playing cards pay tribute to four of the greatest and most recognised dynasties in Chinese history (Han, Tang, Ming and Qing) and feature illustrations and design taken directly from Chinese culture.

Housed within an embossed and gold foil stamped tuck case, each suit has been designed around one of the four dynasties above. Court cards include intricate detailing with each possessing different features and personalities whilst maintaining a traditional playing card theme - from the inclusion of weapons and artefacts to the direction of their heads and hand placements.
