A Note From Luke
Handsome leather chess board dating from the 1920s or so. Boards in the shape of antiquarian books were popular in the first years of the 20th century. Nice example of a decent size. In a "well above average" condition for its type. These boards are more normally discovered in a distressed condition. Chess squares 4.3cm wide.
