Dance cards were one of the first seduction accessories among wealthy aristocrats and bourgeois. Its main characteristic was to be practical, beautiful and exquisitely crafted.
This feminine accessory was widely used in large dances as part of the seduction game for non-verbal communication in which to communicate what intentions or desires two people had.
