magnificent-english-turned-chess-set-circa-1850
February 15, 2018
A fabulous English playing set dating from the mid 19th century and of a fine quality. Turned on an ornamental lathe, a popular style of the period, the set features elaborate decoration including fleur-de-lys and three-dimensional basket-weave brickwork on the rook. The set comes in a specially constructed attache case for presentation and protection. Recommended.
