Description

A collection of nine vintage tabletop game sets, primarily consisting of cribbage boards and boxed dominoes of British manufacture. The group features a high-quality dark wood cribbage board by the renowned maker Jaques London, distinguished by elaborate scrollwork carving and a central inset metal maker’s plate. Other boards in the collection include a decorative rectangular example with a printed surface depicting playing card suit symbols surrounded by green foliate scrolls; a three-lane board with geometric star and diamond inlays and a sliding drawer for peg storage; two boards featuring contrasting light and dark wood geometric inlays; and a compact travel board. The collection also includes three sets of dominoes in wooden boxes with sliding lids. One large box is marked for the manufacturer Griffin and is labeled as a set of 55. Two standard sets are contained in wooden boxes marked with black and red block lettering respectively. Construction materials across the items include various hardwoods, such as oak and mahogany-toned woods, with decorative marquetry and inlay details.

Length of largest board: approximately 32 cm.
