Bone and Ebony Inlay Folding Chess Set

This exquisite chess set is a masterpiece of bone inlay craftsmanship. The square board is intricately constructed with alternating squares of light-colored bone and dark, contrasting material (likely stained bone or ebony wood inlay) to form the classic checkered pattern. The sides of the box/board are also covered in the same bone inlay mosaic. The set includes a full complement of chess pieces, carved in a traditional Staunton-style, with pieces in black and white materials to match the board. The whole set is designed to be a functional game and a luxurious decorative object, demonstrating excellent precision and material contrast.
