C. manopoulos - Chess set - Grieks-Romeins leger thema - Metal

Authentic vintage chess set by Manopoulos

This beautiful handmade chess set from Greece, stamped 'C. Manopoulos Greece' on the board, brings to life the epic world of the ancient Greek-Roman armies. The 32 metal pieces (gilded gold-tone and silver/nickel-look) are richly detailed: the king as emperor or commander, the queen as sovereign or officer, knights as mounted warriors, bishops as strategists, rooks inspired by classical architecture, and pawns as brave foot soldiers – full of aggression and bravado from that legendary era.

The sturdy board measures 24×24 cm, with a luxurious gold-and-black finish, a classical meander border and elegant corner ornaments – a real eye-catcher. This is not a standard chess set, but a collector’s item from the renowned Greek brand Manopoulos, known for its thematic, handcrafted quality and historical inspiration. Ideal for chess lovers, collectors of antique/military themes, or as a stylish decorative piece in a study or display cabinet. Full set in good condition – a piece of Greek craftsmanship full of power and history!
