Title: Hi all, possible antique?
Post by: Poppers on August 14, 2012, 03:01:27 AM

I have found an item on ebay currently only at a pound looks like a bargain for that price regardless but I was just wondering if you think it may be an antique??

(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Ornate-Pedestal-style-chess-table-pieces-imported-Spain-/00/s/MTIyNFgxMDA2/$(KGrHqV,!lEE+3BPZu!1BQJpJ6gclg~~60_12.JPG)

Apparently it was imported from Spain mid 1900's, thoughts??

Thanks.

Hard to tell what it is made of at this distance !! Antique ?? Not if mid 1900`s !!  You mean the table and all at that price ?? Not bad if you like chess !!

 I don't think the pieces go with the board. They seem too large for their positions.  Either way that is a very cool board.

Neat board. I'd buy it whether or not it's antique.
