Description from the seller
Hand-carved chess and checkers set in a floral style. Board in sycamore and ebonized maple wood, with mother-of-pearl and bone inlays. Pieces in pine or beech wood. From the mid to late 20th century, India.
The set is in very good overall condition, with slight wear and almost imperceptible scuffs (see images to get a proper idea of the state). The board seems to have been part of a table or lectern. It retains full functionality and use. Floral carving, typical of Asian art. The chess and checkers pieces are complete and are carved in a soft wood, such as pine or beech. A gorgeous and very special set, rare to find in this condition.
