It is, but it's not antique. This set can be bought today for $237.67 at, yes, Jaques of London.

Is this real Jaques London !?
Sort:
Yes, but its from the mid 1990s so its Indian-made, pretty poor quality.

Can you elaborate on quality please
I bought this set in 2012 before it was discounted and had no complaints except for the dried-out box. The top sliding cover shrunk so much it keeps dislodging from it's rails. The pieces are reasonably well made. However, I am aware I overpaid only to enjoy legendary original branding.
To put it simply, I paid for the label.
