There are lovely bookends as well; a set of two knights on shaggy Icelandic-style ponies, and a Queen and King. I have the knights; I'm looking for the King and queen.

It's one of my favorites, although it's a bit hard to actually play chess with. :) I have a miniature chess set styled after these pieces, purchased in a London tourist trap store over a decade ago.
