AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful vintage chess board in a heavy solid wood box with two convenient drawers for the chess pieces.
This authentic specimen (likely from the 70s/80s or older) exudes class with its meticulous inlay/marquetry work: a classic 8x8 playing field of alternating light and dark wood (oak-like), surrounded by an elegant border in warm shades of beige, brown, and purple/reddish-brown veneer (leather-look effect).
Dimensions
Total box: 36 x 36 cm (square, sturdy and compact)
Playing field: 19 x 19 cm (squares about 2.5 x 2.5 cm – easy to play)
Extras:
Two separate wooden drawers with nicely turned handles (one handle has a small authentic wear mark/mini breakage – see photos)
Includes a complete set of wooden chess pieces (Staunton style, light and dark) – all pieces included.
Condition
Very authentic and sturdily built from real solid wood. Normal signs of use appropriate to the age (light scratches, patina, here and there a small spot). No structural damage, the drawers slide smoothly and the board sits flat. A charming vintage patina that collectors particularly appreciate!
Ideal as a decorative object, a game board, or a supplement to a chess collection. A unique, handmade feel—no mass production.
Carefully packed and shipped. View the detailed photos for the exact condition.
