This ivory chess piece, a rook, was crafted by Elkington & Co. between 1865 and 1875. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands just over 3 inches tall and depicts a knight in a helmet and armor, holding a shield and sword. The intricate details of the sculpture, including the intricate designs on the shield and the knight's clothing, reflect the craftsmanship of the Victorian era. This piece is a prime example of the intricate and detailed art of chess piece making during this period.
