Chess Set

By ssm, 7 October, 2008
Description

This beautiful chess board is inlaid in a wooden box which includes a pull-out sectioned drawer to store the pieces.  The pieces appear to be hand-carved.  The front piece border of the wooden box is missing - making it appear that the drawer is slightly pulled out.  The bottom of the wooden box is cut in a nice design. (see last picture).  I haven't been able to find any chess set like it on the web with the pull-out sectioned drawer.   I would love to know more about it.
