As is normal with games of this antiquity there are plenty of signs of usage and age related 'checking and shrinking' of the wood, yet it’s uncommon to find a marquetry game this old in such shape. The unique charm of antique games lies in their aged appearance and the rich history that accompanies their imperfections and quirks, making them all the more endearing and unique.
