Vintage Korean Soapstone Chess Set - both a game and feature

This is a vintage Korean, hand carved soapstone chess set, bought in when these sets where very popular display pieces in homes, rarely used for playing. The set contains all pieces in a self contained folding chess board, and is clearly stamped as being handmade in Korea. These sets are much sought after display items and I am selling mine due to moving country next month and not being able to take it due to the weight! This set has been in my family and has travelled around. As a result, and due to the nature of the soapstone, a number of the pieces do contain some scuff marks on them (particularly noticeable on the black pieces). Two or three of the pieces do have small chips on them. Overall however, the set is still a very beautiful and interesting addition to anyone's home, and in particular, to anyone with an interest in chess! The chess board does require slight cleaning due to the fact in was sellotaped closed, and the inside boards do need the hinges changed as they are old and prevent the full closure of the board. This set would either make a nice small project for someone to restore, or a lovely gift for someone with a keen interest in the game. It is a very heavy set and therefore is collection only from Winchester, Hampshire. I am willing to consider sensible offers near the asking price. I would advise anyone to come and have a look at the set in person before deciding one way or the other, as I feel it requires a close inspection to fully appreciate it.
