The whole composition has a fantastic folk-art quality and is much more decorative than the usual plain timber games board.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet within its original-looking simple mahogany frame with boarded timber backing. It works equally well as a functional games board or simply displayed as a piece of antique graphic folk art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is age-related wear throughout including marks and knocks to the wooden frame, all adding to its character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasures approximately 49 × 49 cm \/ 19 1\/4 × 19 1\/4 inches.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56878585905538,"sku":"29-08-26-N-70-S-TL","price":335.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8495514609_9qpe.jpg?v=1788005995","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/antique-victorian-reverse-painted-glass-games-board-chess-draughts-folk-art-c-1900","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
