This antique bilboquet which is a very large size is made of wood, dates from the 19th century and would have been skilfully hand made.

This French ball catch game has a carved wooden handle with a spike to one end and a cup to the other end. The object of the game is to catch the wooden ball which is attached to the centre of the handle by a string on the spike or alternatively on the cup at the other end.
