Jon's main chess page

A very rare Jaques club-size ivory set, circa 1852, in its restored very large casket. (The two combined photos above show the set in the casket and the closed casket lid.) This casket is nearly two feet across. The knights are of the "Anderssen" designation within the Camaratta codex.

I will take detailed photos of the set, label, and casket as time permits.
