About the Item

This is a good quality handmade miniature or travelling wood chess set game of 32 pieces in its own inlaid walnut box, which we date to the early 20th century, circa 1930's. The chess set is complete with 32 wood pieces having pegged bases. The circular box is handmade of wood, probably walnut with line inlays of a lighter wood to the lid top. The base section is fitted with the chess board and the lid is a good snug fit to the base section. The base has two removable side pegs that stop the lid closing on the chess pieces when the lid is on. It is a very good feature of this chess set that the pieces can remain in place once the lid is fitted, so that the game can be resumed at a later time if required . The inside of the lid has a fabric pad to keep the chess pieces in position when the lid is closed. Chess set additional details: The box is 5 inches diameter by 1~3/8 inches deep with the lid closed. All pieces are nominally the same height of about 1.5cm excluding the spigot (peg) part that fits into the holes. Overall a very attractive and well-made travelling chess set.
