Do you know this chess set?
I’m pretty sure it’s a Régence chess set, although the rooks are very unusual for that type; usually they are straight towers.
Thanks, no, it is not a Regence. it’s in any case a roly poly chess set, but I didn’t find this specific one. It is probably a reproduction of a Schmitthenner set, produced in the 1880-1890s. But as I said, I didn’t find this soecific one. Look for example the rook, very thin.

Ahh I had never heard of Schmitthenner before! Yeah, the bowl-shaped bottoms are consistent with that. What makes you think it's a repro? And what do you mean by roly poly?
I found in Internet a new version of it. Can someone tell something about this set?
