AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hand-carved chess and draughts set in a floral style. Board made of sycamore and ebonized maple, with mother-of-pearl and bone inlays. Pieces carved from pine or beech. From the mid to late 20th century, India.
The set is in very good overall condition, with slight wear and almost imperceptible scuffs (see images to get a proper idea of the state). The board seems to have been part of a table or lectern. It retains fully functional usability. Floral carving, typical of Asian art. The chess and draughts pieces are complete and carved in a soft wood, such as pine or beech. A very beautiful and special set, little seen in this condition.

Measures 44 centimeters in diameter and 3 cm tall.
-Pieces. Weight: 600 grams. 2 centimeters in diameter and an average height of 7 cm.
It is shipped with certification and insured by Correos España or similar.
