english-calvert-style-chess-set-circa-1850

January 17, 2018

Lovely English set with high quality carving. Very typical of “high end” mid Victorian chess sets aimed at the luxury market. The pattern is similar to sets sold by Calvert of Fleet Street, and features kings with elegant urn shaped finials. Comes with a 19th century rosewood and brass inlaid box. Recommended.
