The game of Solitaire is reputed to have been invented by a nobleman confined in the Bastille prison during the early years of the French Revolution. The game is played with 36 marbles. The object is to eliminate all but one marble, which should ideally end up in the center of the game board.
This is a French finished hand-turned game board on a small pedestal. It includes 38 semi-precious stone spheres in many different varieties, selected for color and beauty as playing pieces.
