Rare Antique Chess / French Checkers Games Board C.1860

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A most unusual Victorian games board, dating to around 1860, found here in England and English in origin.

It consists of two separate boards, one each side, one for Chess or Draughts, the other for French Draughts or Checkers which consists of a 10 x 10 pattern (100 squares). The other side is of course the more standard 8 x 8 Chess configuration.

Either side of the board are lidded compartments containing the 20 checkers required for the French Checkers or Le Jeu de Dames. The compartments can be operated from either side of the board (each covered with a sliding lid, one has been replaced, done very well).

I pulled of some information and rules for French Checkers on the internet and will include these with the piece.

A wonderful piece for the advanced collector in excellent condition with light wear commensurate with age. Measures 18 1/2" x 14 3/4".
