FAQs

Draughts, also known as checkers, and backgammon are among the oldest board games in history, with traditional wooden sets becoming popular household pastimes during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Antique game counters were typically turned from dense hardwoods such as boxwood, ebony, rosewood, or stained fruitwood, often housed in a matching fitted wooden box.

Authentic pieces from the early 20th century exhibit hand-turned concentric circle detailing on the faces, natural material patination, and wear consistent with age and traditional use.

Vintage game sets can be displayed neatly stacked on a coffee table, bookshelf, or side table to add a layer of intellectual charm and tactile history to a room.

To preserve antique wooden pieces, keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, occasionally treating the timber with a microcrystalline wax to maintain the finish.
