History of the object: Nain Jaune, derived from the 18th-century game "Lindor," established itself as a staple of family entertainment in France. This unit was manufactured by Nicolas-Keller (N.K.) Atlas, a firm renowned during the Belle Époque for employing top-tier artists for its chromolithographs, elevating board games to the status of decorative objects.
