Elegant yet playful, these pieces beautifully combine artisanal workmanship with Italian gaming heritage.
Founded in Trieste in 1868, Modiano is Italian most historic and respected playing card manufacturer, internationally renowned for the quality and distinctive graphic identity of its decks. The four Aces featured in this set reflect that long tradition of craftsmanship and design excellence.
Each coaster has been individually handcrafted, with solid brass frames shaped and finished by hand. The warm golden tone, together with the natural patina developed over time, enhances their authenticity and vintage charm. The glass top protects the cards beneath, set against classic red and green backgrounds.
At the bottom, each piece proudly bears the “Made in Italy” mark, further emphasizing their Italian origin and artisanal production.
When you place a clear glass on top, the playing card at the bottom becomes beautifully visible through the glass, creating a refined and playful effect.
Beyond their function as coasters, these versatile pieces can also serve as elegant trinket dishes for rings and small treasures — perhaps even as a thoughtful gift for your closest friends — or as sophisticated ashtrays for true poker players who appreciate atmosphere and character. A perfect blend of function, charm, and a subtle touch of playful spirit.

Both decorative and functional, this set is perfect for a bar cart, coffee table, or study, a distinctive conversation piece that combines craftsmanship, history, and timeless Italian elegance.
