French Ebay is a treasure trove stuffed with old and new things, even if you do not have the brocante bug French Ebay can bite you badly.
The photo above depicts an eighteen century, hand carved wooded checker board. 800 Euros is out of my range... Though searching Ebay France you will find museum quality pieces, and more often than not with affordable prices.
