AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage spectacular chess figures in bronze and tin representing the Knights of the medieval court from the late Middle Ages. The pieces are highly detailed, made of bronze and tin, with a red velvet base in very good condition. The chessboard is made of leather with sewn edges and a wooden part with embossed details, showing some signs of wear. It also includes a checkers game. Overall, very well preserved despite its age. An extensive and detailed photographic view is attached for assessment and valuation. Depending on its condition, specialized packaging will be used for shipping. Shipping outside the European Community or to independent destinations not covered by Catawiki incurs an additional shipping cost.
