Our English Barleycorn sets, circa 1820 to 1845, usually come in red-stained and natural bone barleycorn. The size of the Kings ranges from 4.0" to 4.25". The Rooks usually have a full tower with flag, and the Kings and Queens usually have elaborate decorative carvings on the barrels. The knights are well-carved and the bishops have the vertical split miter.
