    Description

    Antique Barleycorn Chess
    Beautiful bone barleycorn chess set. One side white/natural, the other dyed red.
    Large set with 3.5" kings!
    Comes with what I presume is the original slide-top wood box.
    Some repairs. Note the white kings base and carefully inspect the knight pictures. You will spot some repair work, but all of the pieces are original and clean with no major chips or cracks. Red king has hairline crack through barrel, but again, not bad...I was especially excited to see that all knight ears are intact!
    This set looks gorgeous on the board! See pictures (displayed on 1.5" squares, but board is for display only and not included in sale).
    Sold as-is with no returns so please see pictures and ask questions.
