No idea, but what a cracking set. Would sit very nicely in my living room :0)
Might have been an idea to get a valuation before u bought it though :0)

I'd like to help you on this one...I believe the set itself is a 'Farmers Bust' which is carved by Tyrolean chess wood carvers native to Austria-The State of Tyrol. There are several styles of a Farmers Bust set; most different in the Rook, and Knight-the general shape is usually the same, while the intricate designs are different depending on the artisan's choice.
Aquired this set. Marked "Tirolian Wood Carvings 1895"
Does anybody know the value of a set like this, I can't find any info on it!
