Age of this chess set

I bought this Regency chess set in France. The king measures 3¾ inches in height, the queen 4¼ inches , the bishop 3 inches , the rook 2½ inches , and the pawn 2¼ inches . There is a crack in the black King. Not too serious. I wondered if someone could give me an idea of the age please? The board is my own not related to the pieces.

I tried to add some photo's but they were removed! Any idea how I can add the photo's? Tried again. SUCCESS!

Hard to say the age. 20th century before 1970, I think so. Maybe around 1950? But for sure, on this picture you mixed up black King & Queen squares, and measurements. The King is the tallest piece, wearing a crown. The Queen features the same globe finial as the Bishop does.
