Medieval Red Yellow Ferrer Derby Heraldic Pattern Poker Cards

Play Bridge with your friends with these Classic Playing Cards that are covered in the famous Family crest fur pattern Ferrer of Derby in the medieval heraldic style. If you're into renaissance fairs, this is for you. You probably have seen a family crest ring on somebody's hand. Usually they contain some animal, like a heraldic lion. But often they show typical heraldic patterns. I particularly like the bold colors and clear geometric designs. For instance the fur, or in this design the "vairy or and gules" from the coats of arms of the Ferrer family. In the middle ages they were the earls of Derby. The pattern is called a vair, a subgroup of the heraldic classification fur. It is red on "metallic gold" and it makes a great pattern for surfaces.
