Description from the seller

Elegant Dal Negro chess set, Italian-made, dating from the late 1980s, consisting of a wooden chessboard and chess pieces in natural bicolored alabaster.

The chessboard is made of solid wood veneered material, with contrasting light/dark squares and a shaped frame; inside, it features the original storage compartment lined with green felt, divided into individual compartments for each piece, a typical Dal Negro solution for medium-high quality sets.
The pieces are turned and polished, made of light and dark alabaster, with visible natural veins that make each element slightly different from the others. The design is classic and proportioned, with elongated kings and queens, and horses sculpted in a clean and minimalist style.

Present the original Dal Negro booklet 'The game of chess – Basic rules,' further confirming the set's authenticity.
Materials

Chess: natural alabaster

Chessboard: wooden game board measuring 36x36 cm. Wooden storage box with a fabric-lined interior and dividers for storing chess pieces.
