Cribbage Sets

Sir John Suckling invented cribbage around 1630, and it has since become one of the world's most popular card games. Many luxury sets were made in the late 1800's with fine finished wood (or occasionally brass), inlaid with ivory or semi-precious stones. They were often engraved with the owner's name. And because there were no regulations on shape, people got creative, producing everything from basic rectangles to swoopy floral shapes.
