A replica of a vintage gameboard.

MEMBERS' PRICE: $135.00

Lorie's game boards are inspired by the well-worn items found in antique shops, each with its own history and story. She strives to recreate the patina and unique beauty of these time-worn pieces, not by passing them off as originals, but by using aging techniques as an art form to honor their legacy.

Dimensions:

  • 18" x 18"

Material:

  • Authentic materials: Using authentic milk paint, a centuries-old recipe known for its matte finish and historical accuracy.
  • Hand distressing: Employing hand techniques that cause the paint to chip, crackle, and vary in shade and color, mimicking natural aging.
  • Non-toxic finishes: Applying only non-toxic finishes to ensure safety and environmental responsibility.

Design:

  • Made by Lorie Meek

Origin:

  • Made in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Care:

  • Dust regularly: Use a soft microfiber cloth or a feather duster.
  • Avoid moisture: Don’t soak or use a wet cloth, as water can damage milk paint finishes and cause wood to warp.
  • Spot cleaning: If necessary, use a barely damp cloth and immediately dry with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Gentle use: Avoid dragging pieces across surfaces; lift them carefully by the edges.
  • Avoid scratches: Keep heavy, sharp, or abrasive objects away from the game board surface.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure can fade the paint or cause discoloration.
  • Stable humidity: Keep boards in a room with moderate humidity (around 40–60%) to prevent cracking or warping.
