jaques-staunton-chess-set-circa-1900

Boxwood Side:

'Very Good' to 'Excellent'. Green baizes on the undersides 'Good', slightly rubbed/worn to the edges of the baize, four? baizes possibly replaced with identical felt, but in a very slightly lighter green colour? Very nice figuring to the grain of the wood.

Ebony Side:

'Very Good' to 'Excellent'. No chips or cracks. Black King stamped JAQUES LONDON in red, green baizes 'Good'. 

Box:

'Very Good'. Thin hairline crack to sliding lid. The usual very minor surface scratches and 'dings'- as to be expected. Plum velvet interior 'very good', with some very minor fraying along the edges. Label: 'Good'. Some minor brown marks or stains, some gentle rubbing and a few minor scratches. No loss.
