Description from the seller
Offered for auction is a magnificent, modern, and minimalist design chess set. This exclusive designer piece radiates luxury and, with its clean lines, is a perfect addition to a contemporary interior. It is an absolute eye-catcher for any lover of modern design and high-end aesthetics.
About the chessboard:
The board is a heavy, high-gloss mirrored surface featuring a sleek, frosted chess pattern. The edges are subtly marked with algebraic notation (letters a-h and numbers 1-8). The mirror effect provides a stunning depth when the pieces are placed upon it, with light creating varying visual effects.
Condition Report - Important:
Please note that the mirrored glass board is scratched. The surface shows clear and visible scratches from use, which are highlighted in the detailed close-up photographs. Please examine these photos carefully before bidding to understand the condition of the board surface. The pieces themselves are in good condition, showing only minor surface wear consistent with their finish.
About the chess pieces:
The weighted pieces feature a beautiful, abstract, and futuristic design that feels wonderful in the hand. They are finished in two striking contrasts:
Matte Silver / Aluminum Finish: For a sleek, bright, and modern look.
Dark Gloss / Gunmetal Finish: For a bold, reflective, and luxurious contrast.
The designer has reduced traditional chess shapes (such as the Rook, Bishop, and Knight) into smooth, ergonomic, and geometric forms. Even when not in play, this set serves as a fantastic sculptural art piece on any table or office desk.
Packaging:
The complete chess set is delivered in its original, luxury (matte black) presentation case. The case features a perfectly custom-fitted, sturdy foam inlay with individual cutouts for each chess piece, ensuring everything can be stored and transported scratch-free.
The set will be packed exceptionally carefully (sturdy within the original inlay) and shipped insured with Track & Trace.
