Description from the seller


This luxury collectible chess set from the prestigious Italian brand 'Italfama' (as indicated by the symbol on the front of each piece) features a beautiful brown color and consists of a compact wooden structure measuring 36 x 36 cm, covered with leather/vinyl. It includes a stunning 33 x 33 cm board with black braided leather edges—one side for playing chess and the other for backgammon—and a complete set of 32 metal pieces, ranging in height from 6.5 to 8.5 cm. The bases of the pieces are lined with red felt to prevent damage to the pieces and the board.

The chess set represents the figure of Michelangelo's "David." This is one of the most iconic works of the Renaissance, an artistic and cultural movement that developed in Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries. The sculpture was created by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504 during the period known as the High Renaissance, characterized by technical perfection and the idealization of the human figure.

The chess set is in very good condition, although it may have some slight defect in the structure due to the passage of time (see photos). It is quite exclusive, ideal for collectors or for decoration. The pieces are in an exceptional state.

This lot will be properly packaged, insured, and shipped with a tracking code.

Is it possible to pick up the item in person in Toledo city (Spain)?
