AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Impressive vintage medieval history chess set with alloy bronze/metal figures depicting "The Reconquista" and the clashes between Christian and Muslim troops of the Late Middle Ages during the Crusades.

This lot includes a spectacular structure (pyramid-shaped base) made of various materials with different relief scenes on all sides. On top there is a lovely wooden board, which on one side is the chessboard, and on the other side serves to protect the board.

Additionally, the chess set includes a full set of 32 highly detailed metal pieces (the pawns of each side have their shields enameled) representing the Christian and Muslim factions. These pieces measure between 6.5 and 8 cm. The pieces are perfectly protected and placed in a purpose-built structure, and they are stored inside another larger structure.

The whole set is in excellent condition.

Ideal for collectors, as well as historians or chess enthusiasts.

It will be shipped in suitable packaging to protect it during transit. With tracking number.
