Description from the seller
Vintage luxury wooden chess set / chess table – inlaid veneer – complete – approx. 1980–1995
Magnificent vintage wooden chess set with a decorative appearance and refined finish.
The set consists of a raised chessboard with a gracefully wavy edge and matching wooden chess pieces.
The board is realized in inlaid veneer work with contrasting wood tones, giving the set a classic and luxurious look. Thanks to the elegant design, this is not only a chess game but also a stylish interior and collection item.
A notable detail is the original price tag of 475 guilders, which at the time was a substantial amount and indicates a high-end quality set.
Dating / origin
Based on style, finish, and materials, it is presumed to have been manufactured in Europe in the period approx. 1980–1995. The design aligns well with luxury decorative chess sets from that era.
