AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful Vintage Marble and Onyx Chessboard – A Made in Italy Jewel

If you love objects that tell a story and you’re looking for a unique piece of furniture, this chessboard is a real love-at-first-sight.

Completely handcrafted in Italy circa the 1970s/1980s, it is a perfect example of artistic craftsmanship from yesteryear. The base is a solid, majestic slab of genuine marble, where white and cream squares alternate with a deep forest green, creating an exquisitely elegant color contrast.

The pieces are small masterpieces of lightness and style: carved in onyx (or alabast er), they are smooth and silky to the touch. The natural veins of the stone make each single piece a unique and unrepeatable item, with shades ranging from warm ivory to olive green.

In good condition, the pieces show small signs of wear due to age.
