Description from the seller
Vintage Modiano Trieste set with fiches in a wooden box with an antique map
Rare vintage complete game set, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Italian vintage objects. This elegant case contains everything needed for a poker or ramino evening with an unmistakable style.
Main Features
Type of object: Complete game set (poker/ramino).
Card manufacturer: Modiano Trieste (Italy), a historic brand founded in 1889.
Estimated period: 1950s - 1970s.
Materials: wooden box, decorative details in engraved metal (brass / silver alloy), fiches in Bakelite / vintage composite material.
Contents of the Set
The set is complete and includes:
Wooden box: Elegant wooden box with metal corners and closure decorated with embossed floral motifs. The lid features an engraving of an ancient world map with stylized ships.
Two decks of cards: both decks are still sealed in their original packaging. They feature backs in two distinct colors (usually red and blue, with Modiano's stag design) and model code 9104.
Gaming Chips: An assortment of rectangular and round chips in various colors (white, yellow, green, blue, red) for different bets.
Measurements: 14 x 24 x 5
The object is in good overall condition, consistent with its age. The wood shows minimal signs of wear and superficial scratches. The metal displays a slight patina and oxidation, confirming its vintage authenticity. It is slightly dented in one corner (as shown in the photo). The interior is impeccable, and the decks of cards are in like-new condition as they are sealed.
A fascinating piece of Italian game history, perfect for collectors or as a unique gift.
