Next up in our #SothebysWrapped🎁 series, we look back at one of your favorite pieces to come through our galleries this year: a domino set that plays music, once belonging to Queen Victoria. Playing dominoes was said to be one of Queen Victoria’s favorite pastimes, with the game mentioned nearly 40 times in her journal between 1839 and 1861. The Queen, who ruled between 1837 and 1901, particularly loved to play the game with her husband Prince Albert. Join Sotheby’s specialist Alexandra Starp as she demonstrates the different features of this remarkable set, a highlight of the ‘Treasures’ sale during the #PlatinumJubilee season this past summer. Created in Geneva between 1804-1808 by Jean-François Bautte, the solid gold case overlaid with translucent blue enamel is an incredibly rare amusement piece, with only one other example recorded so far. #SothebysLondon #SothebysJubilee #QueenVictoria #DominoSet
