FAQs

Cribbage boards were developed in the seventeenth century to track scores in the card game of cribbage using pegs inserted into pre-drilled holes. Historically crafted in various shapes and materials, they evolved into decorative objects as well as practical game accessories.

Traditional cribbage boards were primarily constructed from dense hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring bone, ivory, or metal pegs and occasionally inlaid mother-of-pearl decoration.

Authentic period pieces display hand-drilled scoring holes with subtle irregularities, natural wood shrinkage around joints, age-appropriate patination, and minor wear surrounding frequently used peg positions.

Small game boards make excellent accents on a bookshelf, coffee table tray, or desk surface, displayed alongside framed prints, leather-bound volumes, or brass accessories.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a light coating of natural beeswax polish annually, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
