Vintage Exotic Wood Handmade Chess Set, KH 10cm/4 in, Fine Maple & Rose Wood Chess set with hotsell Original Storage Box, Luxurious Wooden Chess Set

This is a nice handmade wooded chess set made in Western Europe / Germany in the 1960's-1970's. Pieces are finely turned/carved by hand with excellent detail and precision. Pattern is very interesting, it's Staunton based hotsell but combines details from different chess styles. Kings, Queens and Bishops have quite chunky collars with grooved line in the middle. Knights are carved by hand in elegant shape and very good detail. Pieces are made of 2 kinds of exotic wood - one side is made from superior kind of maple wood (or possibly other kind of wood?), other side is made from rose wood or palisander wood. Surface on the both sides is polished very well and coated with matted varnish. Pieces are bottomed with felt and unweighted. They feel heavy and well balanced because of the density of the wood. The set comes in original storage case made of solid beech wood and coated with varnish.
The set is pictured on a 5x5cm. chess board (not included) and fits nicely on that size.
