Description from the seller
This 70s/80s chess set combines a resin pieces in an emperor-inspired style with its original wooden board and box, forming a decorative yet functional game that is highly representative of the craftsmanship of that era.
Piece design
The figurines are made of molded resin, with an emperor-inspired look, royal court attire, and historical figures. Each piece features detailed modeling, with robes, headdresses, and attributes that reinforce the imperial aesthetic. The pawns have a simpler design, while kings, queens, and officers show greater ornamental richness. Resin provides a solid finish and a balanced weight, suitable for both play and display.
Original board and box
The board is wood, with clearly defined light and dark squares and a perimeter frame that provides stability and presence. The box, also wood, belongs to the original set and serves both to store the pieces and protect the board. Its construction is typical of quality games from the 70s/80s, with a warm and durable finish.
Aesthetic and era
The set reflects the mid- to late-20th-century decorative taste for themed chess, especially those inspired by ancient cultures or imperial figures. The combination of detailed resin and solid wood gives it a collectible character and an aesthetic value that goes beyond mere play.
Overall condition
The set is complete and well preserved, with the natural wear of time on the wood and good maintenance of the resin pieces. The box and board retain their functionality and original appearance.
Tracked shipping and secure packaging.
