Chinese Terracotta Warriors ornate chess set, Mint
Highly decorative chess set imported from china, but never played with. I bought it advertised as pieces made from bone, but although they look like bone, I suspect it is man made material. Very detailed corresponding to those ancient warriors, a beautiful thing in its own right Approximate sizes 3 inches deep box with drawers. Each side 20 inches. Height of king 3 3/4 inches. Corners and handles look like antique brass. Playing surface looks and feels like fine leather. Photos don't really do it justice. Each piece is housed in its own individually shaped recess, with a suede-like finish. It was expensive at the time, and postage/import charges high, so the price I ask is very reasonable. You would be hard put to find another like this. Complete, 32 pieces, superb box with drawers. It is fairly heavy, best part of 14lbs so although i can post, it will probably be around £10. Collection obviously free. I can deliver locally for a nominal sum.
