Description: Early 18th century to late 19th century "Mother Of Pearl" game counters. Made in China by English demand and carrying family monograms on verso, these counters were an elegant and practical way for upper class gentlemen to gamble and then chide each other by saying "I'm holding your counters for 100 pounds!" Elegantly hung on an 18" gold fill chain emphasizing its beauty and simplicity.
