Description from the seller
This refined casket-style chessboard represents a perfect fusion of a game and a luxury decorative item. The design features a mahogany-toned wooden frame with a glossy finish, accented by elegant gold Greek key patterns running along the edges, giving the piece a classic and regal appearance.
Key features:
Playing surface: The playing field is made of mirrored glass with black screened squares, a detail that creates a captivating play of reflections and depth during games.
Casket-style structure: The base is designed as a container (openable via the golden knob on the front), ideal for storing the chess pieces and protecting them from dust, making the piece extremely functional as well as aesthetic.
Ornamental details: The double gold trimming, both inner and outer, frames the mirror, enhancing the contrast with the rich wood color.
Conditions and Style:
The item is presented in excellent aesthetic condition, with the mirrored surface clear and the wooden structure well preserved. It is a versatile decorative piece, perfect for display on a coffee table or inside a bookshelf, adding a touch of intellectual flair and refinement to any modern or classic setting.
Chessboard dimensions: 31.5 x 31.5 cm x 6 cm
Conditions: generally excellent, with some minor signs of use at the corners.
