This antique bilboquet which is a very large size is made of wood, dates from the 19th century and would have been skilfully hand made.
This French ball catch game has a carved wooden handle with a spike to one end and a cup to the other end. The object of the game is to catch the wooden ball which is attached to the centre of the handle by a string on the spike or alternatively on the cup at the other end.
These games were very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and enjoyed by both children and adults.
This 19th century game has a beautiful rich patina so looks great on display. Would make a very nice collector''s piece and is rare being such a large size.

Weight: 936 g.
Condition: Excellent antique condition with signs of use in keeping with age. Some wear, marks and small chips. String is replacement. Has a beautiful rich patina so looks great on display.
