AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An elegant and highly decorative chess set combining classical mythology with premium craftsmanship.
Both the board and the pieces are made from metal, giving the set a solid, luxurious weight and a refined collector’s feel.
The chessboard is crafted with glossy fired enamel squares in contrasting tones. Decorative metal corner feet elevate the board slightly, enhancing its presence on a table or desk.
The pieces are solid cast metal miniatures inspired by ancient Greek and mythological figures — columns, horses, warriors, animals and classical characters — each one detailed like a small sculpture.
This set functions equally well as a playable chess set or as a statement décor object.

Board: 36 × 36 cm
Piece height: approx. 3.5 – 5.5 cm

Condition
Good vintage condition. Light patina and minor signs of age consistent with use.
