Vintage 1880s English Monogrammed Inlaid Lawn Balls Style:JML A handsome and romantic ItalianMade of imported lignum vitae wood inlaid with bone, the densest and hardest wood, these 19th century balls were made for lawn bowling, a 13th century sport still played on courts in the United Kingdom. Also known as Bowls or Lawn Bowls, players try to roll their ball closest to a smaller ball. The bowls are heavier on one side so that they turn when being rolled and may be played one on one or in teams.
