I am a fanatic for interesting motifs and boards, and have listed some of my favorite sets below. I 'd enjoy hearing about any unusual sets you may have. Purchased in Greenwich Village during our honeymoon, 1977. Queen Anne style. Purchased in Roman market 1976 Indonesian.
Pieces are Indonesian garudas and other mythological creatures.
The board is the 'art' in this one. Drawers for storage. Purchased in Taipei 1976. Board is Kenyan. Dimpling in leather clearly visible.
