Four Lacquered Quadrille Boxes with Ivory Scorers on the Lids and Bone Markers Inside, Set Inside a Lacquer Case. Circa 1800. Each of the ivory scorers has a scrimshawed and hand painted suit symbol and around 20 bone markers with the appropriate suit symbol in each box. Case measures 7 ½ x 6”. Case damaged, boxes with minor damage, but overall good. Quadrille was a very popular French card game played in the courts from the eighteenth century to about the middle of the nineteenth century. Its roots were in the English game of Ombre. It was a complicated game and gradually merged with the game of Whist to produce the hybrid game of Boston Whist.
