Luxury Dominoes Set

Dominoes are the small tiles traditionally carved from bone or ivory and featuring small round pips of inset ivory that collectively make up the domino sets commonly seen today. An game with ancient roots, the oldest known double nine domino sets date back to c.1120 A.D. in China, and it is thought that they were introduced to China from India before that. It wasn't until the 18th Century that double nine dominoes appeared in Europe where, over time, the game was adapted into the form that we know today.
