Larger wooden Staunton set, handmade and in the original wooden box. This set was made around 1950 in the Netherlands. The dark pieces have a mate paint finish and show signs of use and age. There are also some pieces with small imperfections due to the wood used and from normal use. The king measures 7 cm or 2 7/10 inches high. The larger bases are 2,7 cm or 1 1/16 inches. Nice vintage set sized just below tournament size.
