AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant complete chess set consisting of a veneered wooden board and 32 turned wooden pieces.

The board features a superb design created from wood veneers with burl patterns, enhanced by a decorative frame and geometric inlays in the corners. The pieces, hand-turned from light and dark wood species, offer a beautiful visual harmony and a natural patina developed over time.

This set comes from a French family home where it has been kept for several decades. It is at once a functional game and a beautiful decorative object representative of the artisanal know-how of the mid-20th century.

The set is sold complete with all 32 pieces. The overall condition is good for its age, with some normal signs of use and slight time marks visible on some pieces and on the board.
