Vintage Chinese Mahjong Set in Lacquered Box, Early 20th Century

Vintage Chinese Mahjong Set in Lacquered Box, Early 20th Century

Located in Chicago, IL

A test of skill, strategy, and luck, the game of mahjong (麻將) was invented in China in the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and has been popular ever since. Played by exchanging tiles to build the best hand at the table, mahjong uses 144 tiles engraved with three suits, two honors and a few wild cards. Literally translating to "little sparrow," mahjong is a game best played among friends - when the clacking of tiles and lively conversation recalls the chattering of birds. This antique Chinese mahjong set...

Antique, New and Vintage Games

There’s no better way to wind down after a week of work than with a well-designed antique, new or vintage game.

A beautifully designed contemporary or vintage game can introduce an element of fun to any room in your home — and it doesn’t have to be limited to the game room. The right mid-century or antique chess set or backgammon board can mean high stakes as well as high style for any entertainment room or cheery home bar area, with works from the period proving as pivotal to relaxation as they are eye-catching statement pieces.

While trends come and go, a unique vintage games table never goes out of style. Chess has an enduring and universal appeal, of which we were reminded following 2020’s successful Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit, while classic tric-trac tables are showstoppers in a secretive way, affording party guests a treasury of gaming under the guise of a fine neoclassical writing desk. But in shopping for the latter, strategize your next move carefully — an 18th-century tric-trac table designed in the Louis XVI style can get costly. Gambling games are always on trend, and, in a pinch, you can turn your standard console table or coffee table into a platform for roulette, cards or craps to introduce a little cheeky fun at your next soiree.

Table games such as pool, foosball and Ping-Pong — which is getting a makeover in the hands of today’s designers — can transform your already winning game room, while integrating games or games tables in any corner of your home can support your effort to make every bit of your space more warm and inviting. Browse a vast collection of antique, new and vintage games today on 1stDibs.
