Fine Cut Out Chinese Checkers Gameboard

Circa Late 19th Century: This 23.75"H x 22.5"W four color Chinese checkers gameboard in original red, white, blue, and orange paint decoration was cut out in the form of a six sided star from a single board of tulip poplar. The anonymous maker chose to make an orange border with white trim to give the board a faux frame and added a central diamond for good measure. This gameboard has the dramatic visual appeal and the proper crazed surface that advanced collectors expect in a high quality handmade 19th century folk art board.
