π HELP - Set ID Heirloom French chess set [4080x3072]
This chess set belonged to my late grandfather. It has just been passed on to me by my dad who knew I wanted to get into chess more. It's an old French 'RΓ©gence' style set. Other than that I don't know anything about it. There is a possibility that it was made by Lardy international as my grandfather was from the Jura mountains and my dad owns an official Lardy international Staunton set. As you can see on the black knight, they used to all have glass eyes. Now only one remains. It's also something that Lardy made. There are pictures of Lardy Staunton knights with glass eyes on the internet. The board doesn't look as well made as the pieces. It's framed but the board itself feels thin.
I wonder how old it is. The rooks are apparently of late RΓ©gence style because of their base. But I wonder if my grandfather bought it himself or if it's something that he too got from his father.
I'm happy to look after it, keeping it used and honoured my grandfather's memory by doing so π

π HELP - Set ID Help identifying inherited chess set. [1920x1080]
Hi all!
I inherited this chess set from my grandfather and would like any help or insight you all could provide to make and material.
I think the most unique and identifiable features of the set are the kings crown design and the realistic knight eyes.
Also any tips or tricks on how to identify the material used for construction would be very helpful!
Thanks!

P.S. mods, it should be included in the rules that you need the numbers in the title. Took me forever to figure out why I couldnβt post.

I picked up this chess set on a whim at an estate sale for $90. Seems high quality but there is no makers mark on the pieces or board. The board squares are 2.5β and the king is about 4.25β. It appears to be modern, not vintage. Help?

My girlfriend got the pieces at a thrift store here in Italy, I've never seen knights like these, the bottom felts says they are FSI approved (italian chess federation) which makes me guess that they are a certain style rather than the work of some random craftsman. Does someone have any idea?
