Antique Late 19th Century Hand-Carved Bone Small Size Chess Pieces for Travelers
About the Item
Also beautiful for display.
We recently acquired this antique and handcrafted set of chess pieces from a lady who had lived to be 89 years of age. It was said that this set had belonged to her grandfather who was in the army. For us, that makes perfect sense, because we think that this small size chess set was specially made for a person who travels a lot. Apart from some minor imperfections this complete set is in excellent condition. The box these pieces are in, is not the original box, but the photograph inside should be the grandfather and first owner of this set. Again great value for money and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary. Due to import regulations, unfortunately this set is not available to our American clients.
Our price for this small and very pretty chess set includes perfect packing and also free shipping from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum height x diameter of the largest pieces: 2.95 x 1.1 inches.
Maximum height x diameter of the smallest pieces: 1 x 0.75 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Stunning Late 19th Century Campaign or Travelers Desk Attr. to Thomas PotterBy Thomas PotterLocated in Lisse, NLUnique quarter-sawn, two piece oak campaign desk. This may very well be the most beautiful and interesting campaign desk you will ever be able to acquire. The architectural design, the quality of the materials AND of the make, the combination of the striking colors and its overall look and feel is, in one word, awesome. We cannot think of a single company in existence in the world today who would put such an effort into creating one single and unique piece of furniture. We could have posted 30 images (which is not possible) and you still would not have seen all the fine details and 'gadgets' that make this desk the interesting and marvelous piece that it is. Especially when displayed in the way it is in image one, it will make everyone want to stop and look at this desk. It simply is difficult not to want to. Used by a high ranked officer, this top of the line desk would have cost a small fortune and it would have been taken from one campaign posting to the next. The chest on top can be fully closed and it has a perfect working lock and key (all original). The perfect brass handles on either side makes the chest easier to carry. Never easy though, because it has got some significant weight to it. Apart from minor bending of the desktop (best seen when closed. . .see image7), an incomplete leather inside in the lid (see image 15) and a cracked, but glued white tile (for which we do not know the purpose. . .image 3), this piece is of museum quality. The solid, tiger oak bottom half too is as stabile as the day it was made and it is in amazing condition. It comes with a mint drawer (both inside and out) and it too has a perfect working lock with the original key. The extra tier with the gallery of hand turned pillars makes this fine design open and spacious and it too is of wonderful quality and condition. Some of the finest details are on the inside of the stationary box-like chest. It is the quality in the design, the workmanship, the expensive materials, the attention to detail, the completeness, the execution and, finally, the timeless beauty, that makes us believe that this desk could only have been made by Thomas Potter...Category
