r/ChessBoards

Cleaning out my mother’s place as she needs to move to assisted living, and came across these. No board, but there is an entire set of these pieces. I asked her, and she said they were made by my great grandfather. I don’t think he “made” them, but maybe they were part of a kit that he assembled or something? They are made maybe of a plaster or something. Fairly heavy, not hollow.

They would be at least 50 years old, as she has a picture of them in her living room from the 1970s.

Sorry it’s a set rather than a board. Hoping someone has some idea!

Bought this at my local antique shop and was wondering where it’s from or when it was made.
Wondering if anyone here knows something about this by the pictures i’ve shown.
The ‘white’ pieces are a lighter shade of metal which has oxidised hence the rustic look, and the metal used for these pieces are not magnetic.
The board also came with these pieces (if that helps!) but i can’t find any makers mark anywhere.
If anyone knows anything please lmk.
p.s. I paid about £30 for this if that will help in any way :)

Latest addition. A classic and minimalist design to go with any style of chess pieces. Solid mahogany with rosewood and curly maple 2.375" squares. I'm not completely sold on the honey color, but I do like it. Shown with Revanche Staunton pieces from the 1990s.
