AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Magnífico chess set "handmade", complete with solid metal pieces (alloy bronze) beautifully detailed. This chess set is manufactured by Marinakis Bros from a discontinued Greek Empire design, handmade, figures made in aged bronze in relief with a black velvet underbase; the heaviest piece, the king, weighs (more than 0.6 kg). The playing board with relief images in bronze is in good condition despite its years; extensive photographic detail is attached for assessment and to consider its current state. Given its great weight and volume, it will be packed and shipped by specialized to the destination; shipments outside the European Community or Europe and Independence are not contemplated in the price of shipping on Catawiki and carry an additional shipping cost. Ideal Christmas gift
