Item Description:
Up for sale is an authentic Red Bishop replacement piece from a Victorian-era Barleycorn style bone chess set.
Material: Hand-turned bovine bone with a deep red stain.
Construction: Rare three-piece threaded design. As shown in photos, the piece unscrews into a base, a central stem, and the top Bishop head. The threading remains functional.
Dimensions: Stands approximately 1.75 inches tall, as pictured.
Condition: This piece shows significant antique wear and "battle scars," as seen in photo. There is some loss to the red stain and minor surface abrasions, which give it a genuine historical character.
This is a high-quality turned piece, perfect for someone restoring a mid-1800s set that has seen significant play.
