<p>[QUOTE="Kerem, post: 1878643, member: 14601"]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>Kerem here, I'm new to the forum. I have bought an old looking, late medieval themed chess set from a local antique shop for a quite decent price. When I inspect it, I notice the board was solid wood covered with leather because it was really heavy for its size (5.8kg; 50cm*34cm*3.5cm) and the surface emits a distinct smell when I moisten it. And I think the pieces are made from brass. I'm guesstimating that it is from early 1900s. I just wanted to know that is it of good quality, how old it is, what is its value, etc. so if anyone has any idea, any comment is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
