At the request of another member, I've decided to make this list more comprehensive, and notate all specialty (i.e. non-commercial) makers of historical decks. Please feel free to add a post if you know of someone I've overlooked.
I've been on a historical kick recently, and discovered that there are a number of small cardmakers (mostly French) creating beautifully restored or reproduced historical decks. Their web sites are scattered throughout this and other threads. I thought it might be helpful to put them all in one place. I'm linking to the home page, in English if it exists. Historical background pages and shops are available as links from these pages.
Thanks to Yves Reynaud (aka Yves Le Marseillais) for some corrections and updates.
