Dutch or German Ivory Set, late-18th or early-19th Century

A very interesting set, with certain features that resemble other sets of Dutch origin and other features resembling German origin. The Kings' faces and especially their crowns are Dutch-like, but the Selenus-type galleries and double-knightheads are more typical of German/Austrian sets. Bishop heads are Geislingen in appearance. Kings 10 cm high.
