AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage Magnífico hand-made chess set, complete with solid metal pieces (alloy bronze) beautifully detailed. This chess set is manufactured by Marinakis Bros, a discontinued design of the Greek Empire, handcrafted, figures cast in aged bronze with relief and a black velvet underbase; the heaviest piece. The game board features bronze relief images; its condition is good, though with some waviness. A wide photographic detail is attached for assessment of its current state; due to its great weight and volume, it will be packed and shipped specially to destination. Shipments outside the European Community or Europe and Independence are not included in the listed price on Catawiki and incur an extra shipping surcharge.
