Description from the seller

Lotto Title
Antique Folding 3-in-1 Wooden Inlaid Play Set – Chess, Checkers, and Backgammon – Late 19th / Early 20th Century

Description
Splendid and rare foldable multi-game box (compendium), a refined example of high Italian cabinetmaking dating to the period around the late 1800s to early 1900s. The set, magnificently preserved, offers the possibility to play three great classics: Chess, Checkers, and Backgammon (Tric-Trac).

Structure and artistic workmanship:
External (Chessboard and Checkers): The exterior features a finely crafted chessboard with a mosaic of walnut inlays in warm, contrasting tones, framed by a double geometric inlay.

Internal (Backgammon board): Opening the box reveals a superb Backgammon field. The typical "points" are fully inlaid, alternating lighter and darker premium walnut woods with striking visible grain for strong aesthetic impact.

Details and Hardware: The box retains its original brass hardware, including the side hinges and the elegant curved front latch, elements that underscore its authenticity and period of manufacture.

Included Accessories (Complete Set):
The lot stands out for the extraordinary presence of all its coordinated game components:

Chess Pieces: Complete set in inlaid walnut wood in a classic style. The light pieces retain the natural wood color, as do the dark pieces. Handcrafted preserving the natural finish of the different walnut wood tones.

Checkers and Backgammon Pieces: 24 (12 light and 12 dark) wooden pieces (with signs of wear)

Backgammon Pieces: 30 pieces in turned bone with distinctive concentric rings (15 light and 15 dark) with beautiful natural grain.

Additional Elements: Pair of vintage dice included.

Dimensions:
When closed: 34 x 53 x 15 cm
When open: 70 x 53 x 7.5 cm

Conditions:
The item is in generally very good condition, considering its age and use. It presents a magnificent warm patina that only time can confer. As typical for solid wood items of this era, there are slight and natural crackings from wood fiber seasoning on the surface of the external chessboard and on the inner bottom of the backgammon area—authentic marks that do not compromise stability or aesthetic beauty, but testify to its history. There are also signs of wear on the pieces but no breaks.

A piece of great charm for collectors, ready for use or display. Ideal for enriching a shop window, a study, or for use in games of times past.
