FAQs

During the late 19th century, tabletop games gained immense popularity in domestic settings. Cabinetmakers designed specialized wooden boxes that doubled as scoring boards for cribbage, incorporating storage for cards and pegs within the structure.

These boxes were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Decorative elements frequently featured contrasting timber marquetry, mother-of-pearl, or bone inlays for the scoring tracks.

Authentic pieces from the late Victorian period often display hand-cut wood joinery, natural patination, and minor variations in the hand-drilled scoring holes. Hardware such as hinges and hooks were typically made from solid brass.

An inlaid games box functions well as a decorative object placed on a bookshelf, coffee table, or desk. It adds warmth, tactile texture, and historical narrative when grouped alongside leather-bound books or brass accents.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking. Apply a small amount of beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the wood and maintain its lustre.
