AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Hand-carved wooden chess set with folk-art board – Vintage hand-carved pieces & carved-border board (complete set)

Beautiful hand-carved wooden chess set + board, fully handmade with warm, natural wood tones (light and dark stained). The pieces have a classic yet unique folk art look: kings and queens with detailed hats and robes, knights as horses, bishops with pointed hats, rooks as castles and pawns as simple soldiers – all with fine carving details and patina.
The board is a highlight: a sturdy wooden slab with inlaid panels (light/dark wood) and a richly carved edge (leaves, waves, or abstract motifs, with a rough, natural finish). Board size approx. 40 cm

Good vintage – complete set, light signs of wear/patina on the wood, board sturdy with an authentic look, perfectly playable and above all decorative. Ideal for collectors of folk art, hand-carved woodwork, vintage chess sets, or as a atmospheric decorative object in country, rustic, or ethnic interiors. A unique, story-filled piece with artisanal charm – a symbol of traditional craftsmanship!
