Chinese ivory chess set Burmese pattern

A Chinese ivory chess set carved in the Burmese pattern in natural and red colours. The king and Queen are as crowns on stems with knops and carved foliage; the Bishops with miter; the knights as horse's head and the Rooks as castles with flags.This is a good set with the king measuring 3 3/4inches (9cm). age: 19 C. condition; good, I notice that the knop of one of the red knights is slightly fatter than that of its corresponding piece.We can obtain CITES EXPORT Licence (2/3 weeks).
