Chess sets have come in different designs over the years. Probably the best known, and nowadays the standard, is the
Staunton design, and of course I have a
Staunton set in my collection. Earlier designs often popping up on eBay are St George style and
Régence or Regency style. I do have a
St George set, but until now no Régence set. As you have probably gathered, that has changed ...
The set came in a cork box, with the name and coats-of-arms of the Spanish
Gonzalez Byass company.
The set didn't come with a board, but it fits very nicely on the board I used for the other two vintage sets.
Nice wee addition to the vintage part of the collection!
