MA that included fine objects from around the world

Such a beauty of a box

which I especially love for the hearts on their sides circling the upper half

the wood is worn smooth with a bit of a sheen

Gorgeous Old Handmade Dominoes Set with Brass Spinners in Original Box geometric shapes MA that included fine objectsThere is a hand drawn French flag on the side of the old wooden slide top box housing these old dominoes in addition to the name Mr. Geo Barnes, written large in pencil across the lid so I have to think they are French, and would guess late 19th c or so. Their super painterly surfaces appear to be thickly applied enamel, with inset dots, and brass spinners at the center, which work great for setting them spinning. I think they're just gorgeous,
