AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Marble Chess Set
The set is made of green marble, reflecting its distinct veining in beautiful tones that add warmth, brightness, and elegance, and Volakas marble, characterized by being a natural white stone with soft gray veining.
The combination of colors and shades of both types of marble on the board and the pieces creates a beautiful play of light with changing color tones, generating a very nice contrast among all elements of the set. Judge for yourself the classic beauty of this set, which, as many years go by, will never go out of style.
Special mention goes to the knight carvings, crafted with great care and detail. See the extensive photographic feature.
The marble board is beveled on its edge, giving distinction and elegance to the set. It is very large, measuring 40 cm by 40 cm per side and 2.5 cm thick. It is very heavy.
The pieces are also very large, with a king height of 9 cm and a pawn height of 6 cm, with a base of 3.5 cm for all pieces, and broad skirts to provide stability.
The board is in perfect condition and some pieces have slight imperfections, but it remains a magnificent chess set, very beautiful.
It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to protect it during transport, via CATAWIKI's Smart Shipping service.
