Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Dominoes originated in China during the Song dynasty and were introduced to Europe in the eighteenth century through Italy. By the nineteenth century, boxed domino sets became staple items for parlour entertainment in homes and social clubs across Europe and North America.

Victorian and nineteenth-century dominoes were commonly constructed using a combination of natural bone or mother-of-pearl faced onto an ebony or wooden backing, secured with small metal brass pins. Simpler sets were carved entirely from solid hardwood or early synthetic materials like celluloid.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces often exhibit slight hand-carving irregularities in the indented pips, visible joinery pins connecting bone to wood backings, and soft surface patination or yellowing consistent with age. Wooden sliding-lid storage boxes frequently feature hand-carved, stencilled, or branded lettering.

An antique boxed domino set functions well as a tactile decorative accent when styled on a coffee table, bookshelf, or side table. Displaying the box partially open with tiles neatly arranged or loosely grouped adds visual interest and texture to traditional or contemporary rooms.

Clean bone and wooden domino tiles using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners or immersion in water which can warp wood and dissolve glues. Store the set in a dry climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent cracking or discoloration.
