About the Item
Mother-of-Pearl and Gilded Brass Game Counters
18th Century
This exceptional set of 18th-century gaming markers from Dresden exemplifies the pinnacle of luxury and refinement in leisure objects of the period. Crafted in mother-of-pearl and gilded brass, the set includes two luxurious counters, 18 disks for gameplay and two delicately carved mother-of-pearl fish—historically a popular motif in gaming. The pieces remain in their original fitted box. Gaming markers of this quality were not mass-produced but carefully crafted to demonstrate both artistry and refinement, making surviving sets exceedingly rare and highly desirable to collectors of decorative arts.
