A Swiss Pearwood Animal and Bird Chess Set, 19th

Item Details

Description

A Swiss Pearwood Animal and Bird Chess Set, 19th Century, finely carved from light and dark wood.

King: 7.3cm

A similar set is illustrated in "Chessman" by Mackett Beeson, G.P. Putnam's Sons, page 110.

Swiss nineteenth-century carvers produced high quality, detailed softwood chess sets. While craftsmen in the wood industry would carve sets, schools of carvers would work on the finest of them. Birds and animals were a regular theme, with "Bears of Bern" the most popular. The open winged eagles of this set are particularly rare and impressive.
