IMPORTANT NOTICE ON LOTS CONTAINING IVORY:

Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. Buyers will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import into the USA. A buyer’s inability to export or import a lot is not a basis for cancelling their purchase.
The king -- 4 5/8 in. (11.5 cm.) high; the pawn -- 2 ¼ in. (6 cm.) high

注意事項

Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit the importation of property containing materials from endangered species, including but not limited to coral, ivory and tortoiseshell. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should familiarize themselves with relevant customs regulations prior to bidding if they intend to import this lot into another country.

The actual pieces of this handsome chess set, complete with fitted mahogany box, are unmarked, which is a rarity for Jaques. Although, there are a few exceptions, probably when the sets where left blank deliberately so the retailers could apply their own trade mark, such as Leuchars or Pearce. However, in this instance the box is marked ‘Jaques London’.
