AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Old Domino Game in Bone and Ebony – 19th Century / Early 20th Century.
Rare and elegant antique classic domino set, model "Double-Six" (Duplo Seis), consisting of 28 complete pieces. Each piece features refined artisanal construction with a dual-layer structure, the upper face carved from natural bone plate fixed in the traditional way by small central brass pins (spinners) over a dense ebony/jacarandá wood base. The pips are individually carved and filled with dark pigment.
Excellent state of preservation for its antique age. It shows natural patina marks and organic tone variations in the bone, historic oxidation on the metal pins, and a slight and honest wear on the edges of the wooden box, factors that attest to its authenticity and period use.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
