Antique Victorian Solid Silver Cribbage Board

19th century

Sold by The Silver Cabinet

Description

This is a fantastic and seemingly rare solid sterling silver cribbage board.

It is hallmarked for Birmingham 1891, with the maker's mark for Hilliard & Thomason. The board is decorated with two playing cards - the Jack of Spades and a Joker, featuring the name of the famous playing card manufacturers, Charles Goodall and Son, London (1820 - 1922). They were the market leaders for many years and their design for the King, Queen and Jack are widely copied still. This may well have been a collaboration between the silversmiths and the card manufacturers which may explain why the board is stamped 'Patent' , although there is no patent number.

This heavy board stands squarely on 4 ball feet and is altogether fab!
