Description from the seller
Small, great work in olive wood.
Handmade artisanal chessboard crafted by hand from a natural section of olive wood, characterized by an irregular live edge and warm, highly decorative grain typical of this wood.
The set features an elegant playing field inlaid with contrasting checkered patterns, achieved by combining different wood species. The overall aesthetic effect is that of a unique object, halfway between a functional game element and a decorative display piece.
The chessboard is raised on feet that enhance its stability and presentation, making it suitable as a decorative piece of furniture.
Dimensions (approx.)
Overall external dimensions: from 30 × 26 cm to 24 × 24 cm (natural irregular shape)
Playing field: 14.5 × 14.5 cm
Cell size: about 2.6 cm
Chess included.
Wooden chess set, in two tones (light/dark).
Piece measurements:
Re: 4.5 cm
Regina: 4.0 cm
Pedestrian: 2.0 cm
Conditions
Good overall condition, with minor superficial signs consistent with age and use.
Please note that a horse from the Dark Faction has been repaired (repair already completed; full set and usable).
An ideal item for collectors, olive wood enthusiasts, and handcrafted chess sets, also perfect as a gift idea or display piece.
