    Wood folding Chess Board Set

    Found in a Mom & Pop shop in North Carolina.
    I don't play Chess but this game board is so beautiful I had to have ;)
    When this sunlight hits this you can see all the gold in it. Hope you are able to see all the little details.
    Another item my son has taken to his room....but once the front living room is completed it's going back on the Hope Chest.
    How old? Maker? Unknown
    Love to sit stuff like this around just for decoration.

      I have seen similar looking boards that were said to be made in Turkey and Iran. It may be middle eastern. Just a guess though.
