Antique Mahjong in a rosewood box, c. 1920
An exceptional Mahjong set from the early 20th century: this antique set, dating from around 1920, combines traditional gaming culture with an intricately crafted rosewood storage box. The tiles are made of bone and bamboo, whilst the box is characterised by brass fittings and jade-green Chinese characters on the front.
The rosewood box has five drawers and a front that slides upwards. The wood is in very good condition. There are some age-related imperfections: a small piece of the brass fitting is missing from the lid, and the right-hand pull clip is missing from the second drawer. These marks are part of the history of this approximately 100-year-old game set.
