AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This set of Persian kings in chess is a luxury piece with a sculptural character, composed of large pieces cast in gilded metal, with an imposing presence and a refined aesthetic. The kings reach an approximate height of 15 cm, with bases 5 cm in diameter, giving them a majestic proportion ideal for boards with large squares, between 6 and 7 cm.

Each figure portrays in detail members of a Persian court: kings, queens, viziers, warriors, horses and towers, all sculpted with stylized features and attire that evoke the iconography of the ancient empire. The craftsmanship seems artisanal, produced using original molds that give singularity to each piece, with finishes that alternate gold and dark tones to distinguish the two sides.

This chess set not only stands out for its functionality as a game, but also for its decorative and collectible value. It is a unique piece on the market, designed to be displayed on tables or display cabinets, where its formal richness and its historical inspiration can be fully appreciated. Ideal for lovers of art, history, and refined design.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
