Anonymous Chess Collector: February 2009

http://anonymouschesscollector.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

About antique chess sets, my personal collection and chess collecting in general. Please feel free to comment. I will get in touch with you if requested. Saturday, February 21, 2009. An 18th-century ivory set from England. This small-cupped pattern is often called "Bird Nest" and looks like an English variation of Continental Selenus design. The Knight head is pretty well worked for it's small size. It seems to have similarities with carvings of some French Knights from the same period.

Fine Kholmogory walrus ivory knight. This fine piece comes from a 18th century Russian Kholmogory set and is made of walrus ivory. The carving quality is second to none. Sunday, May 4, 2008. Finely turned and early Regence pattern chess set from around 1800. I have come to believe that it rather comes from the 1700s, though.

They constantly erect modern buildings next to grand and historical ones. The Tower of London looks like a puppet show decoration among the glass and concrete mountains.

Some words on small German sets. Small German sets and rollup boards were imported to England in remarkable diversity. Sometimes the sets carry the labels of English retailers, but they still come from Germany ( an example from Crumiller collection. The lid of the larger box has words "CHESS AND DRAUGHTS BOARD". Straw work on t...

About antique chess sets, my personal collection and chess collecting in general. Please feel free to comment. I will get in touch with you if requested. Wednesday, November 5, 2008. Fine and interesting Selenus set. This set might be Danish but could in fact originate from Germany, Austria or Netherlands just as well. A somewhat similar but fancier set can be seen in "Schach Partie Durch Zeiten und Welten" page 222. The same set photographed with flashlight. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
