Lovely quality Staunton Pattern weighted chess set of large size. The quality of carving on the knight is to the same quality- and very similar- to Jaques.
Condition
Usual minor nicks and scuffs as expected with age . Crosses on Kings probably repaired/restored? Baizes good. Two pawn baizes slightly brighter green colour- a minute difference, but presumably replaced baizes. Pawns look identical to the rest of the set.
Boxwood Side:
Attractive shiny patina. Chip to edge of knight ear (photo attached), a bit of surface dirt/dust, a few natural flaws to the wood, neat repair to one bishop finial, baizes good.
Ebony Side:
Minor hairline cracks to to queen, knight, rook, bishops, pawns.
Box:
Good. Original antique box to set. Nicely detailed late 19th century metal handles. Usual age scuffs and nicks. Green baize lining good.
