A fabulous antique games compendium veneered in the most beautiful rich coromandel wood. The compendium consists of chess, backgammon, draughts, cards, dominoes and horse racing. The box has a hinged lid and a pair of front doors that swing open and reveal the chess set. The chess pieces are made of bone (King 2½" high, Queen 2" high and Pawn 1¼" high) and sit on brass pegs in the door to keep them in place. The lid houses the four fold leather games board which incorporates chess, backgammon and also a horse racing track. To go with the horse racing game there are two dice shakers, six lead horses and a fence. In the second lift out tray there are some leather Bezique markers, leather Whist markers and two packs of cards. The top tray contains a set of dominoes, backgammon / draught pieces, selection of dice and some pegs and a cribbage board painted with "DEWAR'S WHISKY".
