Description from the seller
Magnificent large-format collector's chess set with board integrated into a wooden case. Metal pieces inspired by the characters of the discovery of America.
Spectacular chess set consisting of an elegant wooden case that incorporates the board in the lid and a complete set of metal pieces in a silver finish on resin bases. The interior is lined with green velvet with individual compartments for each piece.
The figures represent historical characters and elements related to the era of Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America: Columbus, the Catholic Monarchs, conquerors, soldiers, ships and other figures of the time, with an excellent level of sculptural detail.
The set stands out for its strong decorative presence and quality of manufacture, making it an ideal piece both for playing and for display or collection.
Good overall condition.
The pieces show the patina typical of aging, with no appreciable breaks.
The case preserves hinges, clasps and interior correctly.
It is recommended to carefully review the photographs, as they are part of the description.
Features:
- Complete set of 32 pieces.
- Silver-plated metal pieces on resin bases.
- Wooden case with integrated board.
- Interior lined with green velvet.

A piece with a strong visual impact, difficult to find in this size and condition, perfect for collectors of thematic chess, classic decoration or antiques.
