Description from the seller
Elegant vintage chess set, a classic of decorative design that blends material elegance with artisanal craftsmanship. The chessboard and pieces are made entirely of natural stone, probably a combination of alabaster and marble, materials that give the set a unique weight and tactile pleasure.
Made with a light stone base and recessed squares in contrasting black marble. The glossy surface creates gorgeous reflections that highlight the stone's natural grain.
Each piece is sculpted in a sober, classic style.
Dark stone pieces, characterized by a satin finish that enhances their shapes
Pieces in alabaster or light stone, with natural amber tones that vary from piece to piece, making each element unique
Conditions:
The set is in good vintage condition. As these are natural and aged materials, there are light and charming signs of time, such as small chips or irregularities on the edges of the pieces and the base, which attest to its authenticity and history. in particular on two pieces a more pronounced edge chip, details in the last photos
An ideal object both for playing and as a decorative element for professional studies or elegant lounges.
Dimensions:
Chessboard 37 x 37 cm, thickness 2 cm, weight 4,650 kg
Pieces from the largest at 7 cm tall to pawns at 4 cm
