AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hand-painted porcelain chess set offered by Russia to the famous French billionaire Pierre Castel. A one-of-a-kind piece. Made in Russia, more precisely in Verbilki at the Gardner factory established since the 18th century. The board is two-part. This chess set is a magnificent piece for a collector in superb condition. I have found no obvious defects. Each piece is unique and hand-painted. A tribute to Pierre Castel is inscribed on the board. Complete with its original box. An exceptional piece dating from the 1970s-1980s.
