French boules set with leather holder – Petite Boule

This French boule set consists of two smaller metal balls and a matching leather carrying holder. With a diameter of approximately 7.3 cm and a weight of 550 grams each, the balls are significantly lighter than many classic competition boules. The set likely dates from the second half of the 20th century.

The silver-colored metal balls feature finely engraved line patterns, as is characteristic of traditional French boule balls. The original dark leather holder, with its adjustable strap and metal buckles, is particularly attractive. It holds both balls together and allows for convenient transport.

A lovely piece of French leisure and gaming culture, suitable both for playing boules and as a decorative collector's item.
