This Edwardian games box takes the form of a rectangular bridge box, produced in 1904 by maker Wilson & Sharp with London hallmarks. The body consists of dark green pebbled morocco leather with a relief pattern, complemented by applied silver script spelling Bridge on the top cover, a silver clasp closure, and clear readable hallmarks. Inside, the box contains the complete original set of unused contents including a double deck of De La Rue playing cards, four bridge scoring cards, original pencils, and the original rules book. The piece measures 5.5 cm high, 19.5 cm wide, and 10.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this gaming accessory suits an office desk or a library table as a functional storage piece for card games. The Edwardian period design integrates easily into traditional or classic interior settings, offering a practical container that keeps playing cards and scoring equipment organised. The construction shows no tears, splits, or losses to the box, and the silver mount remains undamaged. It serves as a decorative tabletop object that provides usable gaming equipment for card players.

FAQs

Bridge boxes were popular desk and parlour accessories introduced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to store playing cards, scoring pads, and pencils for the game of bridge.

Antique bridge boxes were typically constructed from wood or sturdy card frames bound in morocco or pigskin leather, often fitted with sterling silver mounts, hallmarked script, and silk or velvet interior linings.

Authentic pieces feature genuine British silver hallmarks on applied script or fittings, hand-grained leather surfaces, turned seams, and period push-catch mechanisms.

Position the box on an office desk, stack it on books atop a coffee table, or display it on a library shelf as a tactile decorative accent.

Keep the leather supple by applying specialist leather balm sparingly with a microfibre cloth, and clean the silver script using a dedicated silver cloth to prevent tarnish without abrading the surrounding leather.
