Interesting chess set

I found this chess set today. I couldn’t identify it using my books or Holger’s Antique Chess Collection. It has some similarities with Regence, but too many differences (for example the rooks). I guess it is from Germany from early 20th century. Or do you know this set? I purchased in a thrift shop in Bern. They asked only 15 Sfr for it with a board, but I decided to pay double as much, as the price was too low. The condition is pristine.

This is not the original board. It is just painted.

Congratulations! Beautiful find and a bargain at that price. I am pretty sure that this is a set which belongs to the "Toy Sets" from the Erzgebirge region in Germany. The rooks and the bishops with the little feathers on top are very similar to such sets. I would date it to late 19th century.

Thanks, Erzgebirge, I will check this online. I think I have a similar set in my collection, but most sets are not in my apartment (space), and I still didn’t make a catalog of the items.

I should probably say Erzgebirge or Nuremberg, because the same type of sets were also made by the Nuremberg toy manufacturers. But these regions are adjacent to each other, so there is definitely a connection. Here are sketches from the Sonneberg Toy Pattern Chart by Johann Simon Lindner from 1831 (Sonneberg is located directly between Bavarian Franconia (with its capital Nuremberg) and the Thuringian Ore Mountains and was known as the "World Toy Town"). You can see a clear similarity. I featured toy sets in my book, but not as a separate pattern, but as a subpattern of the Selenus style.

Yes, I see the similarities. I thought already that gave very competent answers to my question. You said you wrote a book on chess collections?
