This chess set pattern can be compared to an example attributed to Merrifield, circa 1830, and illustrated in Michael Mark, Chessmen Practical and Ornamental, exhibtion catalogue, Asprey, 1986, fig.8.
Signed sets, engraved with George Merrifield, of the same design are known. Merrifield worked between 1818 and 1851, in Great Turnstile, London's Inn Fields.
