Description from the seller
Equestrian Folk Chess
Spectacular folkloric chess characteristic of the southern zone of the Iberian Peninsula. It is an antique set from the late 20th century, crafted by goldsmith artisans of the Málaga School of Jewelry. Its fantastic pieces, made in brass and nickel, come in sizes ranging from 7.5 cm to 4.5 cm. Special mention goes to the knight for its exceptional craftsmanship, as well as the King, representing a rider with the whip raised.
The set incorporates an exceptional checkers game, with each piece a reproduction of Arabic and Roman coins used on the Iberian Peninsula in different historical periods. Do not miss the photographic feature so you can appreciate its exceptional craftsmanship.
The box-container presents relief scenes and landscapes, where a Roman circus and typical Arab buildings can be seen, where the chess pieces and the checkers pieces are neatly stored. Dimensions: 38 x 38 cm.
A very beautiful lot, ideal for collectors since it is hard to find because it is a discontinued product.
It will be carefully packed to protect it during transport. With a tracking number.
