A stylish leather Jaques board, I think late Victorian, though it may be earlier (or yes, later!). Floral gold tooling around the edge of the playing side, with an impressed Greek Key pattern running between the tooling and the field of play.  Simpler gold tooling to the reverse of the board, and stamped simply "Jaques, London".

The board is quite hefty, weighing 880g, which is surprising if you are used to cheaper leather coated boards.  It's a twin to another board in my collection, which is near identical but in red and tan (with the same size playing squares, but slightly smaller dimensions and a "scumbled" finish to the reverse).
