AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful bronze and silver-finished chess pieces. The theme of the figures refers to the Crusades, featuring Knights Templar and the Arabs. With similar overall piece sizes, 7 cm for the pieces and 5.8 cm ± for the pawns, base diameter 2.5 cm, they differ by their symbolism. All pieces have blue felt on the base and are in very good condition. The set comes in a display box, which on the other side states the chess game. It is made of PVC synthetic material with velvet-lined compartments suitable for each piece. It measures 30 x 29.5 x 3 cm. A complete opportunity to own a long-discontinued chess set for more than 30 years. The condition of the figures is very good, as can be seen and observed. The set comes in a display box made of synthetic material, where the pieces are stored individually in velvet lining with approximate dimensions of 30 cm by 30 cm by 3 cm. On the back is the game board, PVC, green tapestry like new, with measures 28 x 28 cm, grid 3 x 3 cm. A wide photo report is attached for assessment and consideration of the presented details; it will be specially packed for shipment and protected to prevent breakage. Shipments outside the European Community or Independence are not contemplated in Catawiki and entail an additional shipping cost. Important note: due to current tariffs implemented by the U.S. government, the Hong Kong Post no longer ships parcels to the United States. We regret that we are currently unable to ship any package to the United States.
