Boxwood Side:

Faint hairline crack to top of King, natural flaw to centre of King stem, and resulting slight lean, faint hairline crack to lower section of Queen. Nice patination to the boxwood.

Ebony Side:

Restoration to Queen spike, tiny chip to baluster rim of bishop and rook.

Box:

‘Very Good’. With a sliding lid. Probably of a later date than the chess set.
