A game board with a story to tell. Made in 1986, this vintage, hand-painted folk-art checkerboard is as much a conversation piece as it is a way to pass the time. Crafted from a single slab of wood and adorned with charming New England town and farm scenes, this rustic beauty embodies the warmth and nostalgia of days gone by. Every brushstroke, every detail whispers of simpler times—where games were played by firelight, and décor was made to last.
Whether displayed as wall art in your farmhouse kitchen or set out for a cozy evening of play, this well-loved board adds character to your home, guest house, or cottage retreat. The rich wood grain peeks through its timeworn surface, adding to its vintage charm. And those game pieces? Absolutely delightful! Handcrafted with whimsy, they include everything from cows and chickens to farmers and milkmaids—each one carrying the unique marks of age and craftsmanship.
What’s Included:
- 1 Game Board (16-1/4”W x 24”D x 3/4"T) – ready for one-nail wall hanging

The Beauty of Imperfection:
This game board has lived a full life and carries gentle signs of love and use. Please review the pictures carefully; there are a few nicks here, a little wear there—all part of its perfectly imperfect charm. It’s a one-of-a-kind piece that will never be replicated.
