Description

Antique Jaques Whittington Travel Chess Set.
Rare Large 10" Size
This is a rare 10" Jaques Whittington sets. It features 23mm squares and has a 16mm king (not counting the peg).
The interior of the box and the pieces are in very good condition. The exterior of the box shows wear -- it is over 100 years old, after all! The flaps are in good shape and the box opens and closes well. I will note that some pieces do come loose when closed, so I just drape a piece of felt over them before closing to hold them in place.
The pieces are made from bovine bone. I find no chips or cracks in the pieces, and the red stain is good. One of the red pawns looks like it might possibly be a replacement to my eye as it has some variation in color and shape, but it's really, really close and could just be normal variation since it is an antique, handmade item.
Would make a fantastic gift for the chess player who has everything :)
Sold as-is with no returns so please see pictures and ask questions!
