*RESERVED* Antique English Leather Cricket Ball, Set of Six
Couldn't load pickup availability
Six red leather cricket balls, hand stitched in England around 1920. They look right heaped in a wooden bowl on a desk, bookshelf, or bar cart, and they suit a study, library, or lodge room. One has clearly had a harder life than the rest, and I've described it in full below.
These are six balls in varying condition, and they are sold as display pieces. All six show age-appropriate wear: crazing across the leather, scuffs, darkening, and dirt in the stitching. The crazing is normal ageing for lacquered or dyed leather and is not damage.
One ball is in noticeably worse condition than the other five. It is the darkest of the set, with deep crazing, loss to the leather surface, and a visible crack running through the seam area. The seam stitching on that ball is worn and soiled. The other five are in better order, though none is clean or crisp.
Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
