Victorian Barleycorn Set

Designated by some experts as a Barleycorn, this set does not have the barleycorn leaves on the Kings' and Queens' stems. Hence some experts refer to this style as "Ropetwist".

Another fine example of a barleycorn/ropetwist set from the Victorian era. One rook was missing its round pinnacle, but now it has been restored.
