Description

A very handsome fitted games box dating to the late Victorian era, around 1880, made from Mahogany and complete with a working key.
The leather board fits neatly into the interior of the lid and held with two brass pins. The board has three uses: Chess & Draughts/Checkers; Backgammon; Steeple Chase (Horse Racing Game). The board is in almost untouched condition, one of the best I have seen.

Boxwood and Ebony Chess set, the four Rooks and Knights all with the Red Crown Staunton stamp; Boxwood and Ebony Backgammon Counters / Draughts / Checkers; Cribbage Board with Pegs; Set of bone and Ebony dominoes; Steeple Chase Horses and Fences; A turned Boxwood Dice Shaker, Dice, pack of playing cards. This one is rather special as it retains the original games book.
