Displaying My Lardy Collection

After organizing my Soviet sets, and my books, I've next organized my Lardy sets, or most of them.

a 4.5" Lardy. It fits only on my 2.75" Drueke board.

A 4.0" Lardy commemorating the 1974 Nice Olympiad.

A set Fischer probably played on in his 1964 simul in Indianapolis.

Some 3.75" Lardys.

A 4.0" set, in front of a 3.0" set. I like the bulbous mitres of the bishops and the stout stems of the rooks of the larger set.

Another great collection Chuck. Stunning as usual.

Pic #4, I believe you have mentioned it before - that would be an actual set used in the simul, right?

Pic #2 would be my favorite of the bunch, although I am not a huge fan of the Knights in Lardy sets. 

A collection for the ages. Lardy must have been a lot bigger company than Chavet . 

Thanks, Richard. From what my seller told me, and what I was able to confirm independently about the simul, I believe that my seller's dad played Fischer with that set. The knights are my favorite pieces in the Lardy set. Iconic.

Thanks, Ron. I imagine it was, but I think they were from the same region. Except for the knights, the pieces are very similar in design.

Thanks, RC. No rotation. I'm in the process of displaying as much as I can. I can't look at what I store in boxes. These shelves are on the wall opposite to the shelves that house the Soviet and Eastern European collections, and next to the shelves that hold the chess book collection. The chess table sits between the Soviet/Eastern European collections and the Lardy collection. The bar and beer fridges are at the other end of the room.

Your displays are awesome.  The sets a special and no less than spectacular.

Of course they do not come from the wine region of France, but the famous (or not so famous) chess set region.

Many thanks, Ron!

The sets come from the Jura Department in eastern France. http://www.chess-museum.com/lardy.html. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jura_(department) 

Beautiful sets. Simple yet elegant - very easy to play with. You have quite the collection.

Thanks, Audioq!

Very nice. The fellow who sold me my set indicated to me that his dad had played Fischer with it. I was able to confirm that his father indeed had played Fischer in Indianapolis in 1964, and found a picture of the Indianapolis simul with Fischer, my seller, then twelve, and his father. The picture is too blurry to visually confirm the set.
