Taracea de la Alhambra chess table, crafted in Spain from wood with bone inlays, measuring 52 cm high by 49 cm wide and in good condition.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A jewel of Nazarí marquetry, this chess table is much more than a board: it is a masterpiece of Spanish craftsmanship, with only a few units available on the market. Made in Spain with techniques inherited from the Granadan tradition, it combines noble woods with bone inlays in a geometric and architectural design that evokes Andalusian palaces.

The original pieces, hand-carved in light and dark wood, reach about 10 cm in height and retain their sculptural character. The table, with integrated side drawers, shows subtle signs of the passage of time that enhance its authenticity without compromising its overall condition. It is ideal for both discerning collectors and lovers of decorative art who seek a unique piece with soul, history, and presence.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a chess table that is not only played on but also admired.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
