Dal Negro classic games for the living room table: domino, Mikado Shanghai and Chinese solitaire, made in Treviso, Italy in the 1970s and 1980s and chosen to be played, not shelved.

Dal Negro has made games and playing cards in Treviso since 1756, one of Europe's oldest game houses. Every set here is pre-loved, graded, cleaned and checked before it is photographed: the dark red presentation box, the solid wood board, the original pieces. Objects that sit on a coffee table, a sideboard or a bookshelf as naturally as they come out after dinner.

In the collection

• Mikado Shanghai: the Dal Negro 1980s edition of the pick-up-sticks classic.
