Splendid and imposing handcrafted high-end chess set, perfect both as a refined playing instrument and as an exclusive luxury furnishing object.
The Cabinet: Wooden structure with a mirror-finish gloss, black lacquered profiles, and a perimeter frame in warm smoked burl veneer.
The Playing Surface: Flush surface in solid glass serigraphed, where glossy black squares alternate with satin matte ones, creating beautiful reflections.
The Internal Drawer: Practical pull-out drawer with a gold handle and interior entirely lined in soft brown velvet, shaped with individual compartments to protect each piece.
The Pieces (Luxury Style): Refined hybrid design that combines central turned-wood elements with bases and crowns in heavy metal. The light set is in blond wood and chrome/silver metal; the dark set is in walnut-stained wood and gold/brass metal. The pieces are well balanced and stable.
Dimensions: 42 x 42 cm
Total weight: 6,815 kg (A significant weight that certifies the extraordinary quality and solidity of the materials).
