Emmanuel Chess sets
Samuel Fisher Lund set.
A mid-19th-century English ivory chess set in the style of William Lund or Samuel Fisher.
This set is very large with an impressive 5.2-inch (13 cm) King which makes it very exclusive and rare. This is definitively one of the best sets in my collection.
Jon Crumiller, the famous American collector, has a very similar set in design except that his set has a 4-inch King. You can see his set by clicking here : Jon Crumiller Samuel Fisher set
Displayed here on an imitation antique chess board from Authentic Models.
This picture really shows the lovely patina of the red pieces very well. They have never been re-stained.
This chessboard is a fine imitation antique. The squares are 4.5 cms. A chessboard with squares of 5 cms would be better suited.
