Tiffany & Co. Bridge Set
Tiffany & Co. bridge set, comprising two decks of playing cards, the backs in taupe and olive green within gilt borders enclosing a white band of small suit symbols, the aces of spades printed TIFFANY & CO., together with a Tiffany blue scorepad printed TIFFANY & CO., all fitted in the original Tiffany blue box with white tray and lid. Provenance: Estate of Suzanne Boucek Berol, heiress of Berol / Newell Brands Co.
Berol (stylised as Bẽrol) is a British stationery brand of Newell Brands and former stationery manufacturing company, based in Lichfield, Staffordshire. The company was established in 1856 and manufactured a wide range of products including writing implements and art materials. It was acquired by Sanford L.P. in 1995, a division of Newell Brands, becoming a subsidiary of it until the last factory closed in 2010. Since then, Berol has survived as a brand of imported products, though the head office remains in Lichfield.
Condition: Very Good. Cards clean and crisp with sharp corners and no creases, tears or soiling; one deck appears unused, the other lightly handled. Decks not counted and completeness not verified. Scorepad unused, with light rubbing to the edges of the cover. Original box retains its lid and fitted white tray; scuffs and small losses to the color along the lid edges and corners, light soiling to the tray, and the original retail label to the lid.
