FAQs

Bone and ivory game sets, including dominoes and alphabet tiles, were widely produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries as popular parlour pastimes for households before the advent of mass-market plastic manufacturing.

These traditional sets were typically crafted from bovine bone or ivory, often paired with ebony backs or housed in hand-crafted wooden slide-lid boxes made from mahogany or pine.

Authentic pieces often exhibit visible natural grain patterns, microscopic Schreger lines or pores characteristic of bone, hand-inked or painted pips and letters, and minor signs of age-related patination.

These items work well when displayed casually on a coffee table, stored within a glass-fronted cabinet, or arranged on a bookshelf as part of a curated collection of historical oddities.

Bone items should be kept away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity fluctuations, and excessive heat to prevent warping, cracking, or fading of the pigmented inlays.
