A good example of a folding games board dating from the early 20th century. It has a pine frame with an inlaid chess board on the outside, opening to storage on the inside. It comes with a set of turned wooden chequers and a good quality set of turned wooden chess pieces in a box. The chess pieces are Staunton type turned from ebony and boxwood with weighted bases and green felt bottoms.

The whole set is good quality and in good condition for its age. There are signs of age and use, some light surface marks and knocks on the board but no major damages. There has been a small repair to one rook chess piece but overall it is certainly a very usable set.

Approximate Dimensions :

Board (open) : 13 1/2” (34cm) square

Height of King : 2 3/4” (7cm)
