Old English Ivory Chess Set

The Old English style overlaps with Barleycorn style, especially the rooks and bishops. These designations are imprecise classifications anyway. This ivory set has well-carved knights that are reminiscent of the top London carvers of the early to mid 1800's, and the set probably dates from that period.
