This 18th-century chess set was added to the decorative art collection after Montpelier's team uncovered tiny fragments of similar pawns in the South Yard.

They closely match pawns from types of sets sold during ca. 1780-1810, including this ‘Washington Pattern” set (named because George Washington owned one!)

Today is , and, in true NOTCHES social media fashion, it is yet again time to make a tenuous link to past posts. So turn your eyes back to ‘Cao Cao loved him’: Same-sex love at the end of the Han dynasty by Laurie Raye.
