A historic chess set has sold at auction for £13,000.
The Jaques of London chess set was owned by a Newton-in-Bowland couple who gifted the set to their son after it had been passed down through several generations.
The chess set was sold at Shaw’s Auction House over the weekend.
The buyer, who collects Jaques chess sets, said he is “looking for a gem” to add to his collection, the Lancashire telegraph reports.
