Description from the seller
Vintage Chessboard in Precious Woods with Complete Set of Pieces – 1990s
Elegant vintage chessboard of excellent quality, made in the 1990s entirely in wood and characterized by a refined pairing of light and dark tones.
The playing surface features the traditional 64-square composition, each about 4 × 4 cm, obtained through the alternation of woods with strongly contrasting natural hues. Particularly beautiful is the dark wood, with deep, lively grain, which gives character to the entire composition.
The board is embellished with a wide, pale wooden perimeter frame with 45° corners, elegant proportions and a matte/satin finish, pleasant to look at and to the touch. The back is fully finished in wood and features four protective supports at the corners.
Complete with 32 wooden pieces, 16 light and 16 dark, turned and individually finished according to the classic chess iconography. The natural colour variation of the woods makes the two sides immediately distinguishable and creates a particularly warm and elegant overall look.
Dimensions: 40 × 40 cm
Thickness: about 1.4 cm
Single square size: about 4 × 4 cm
Era: 1990s
Material: wood, various contrasting woods
Finish: matte/satin
Set: complete with 32 wooden pieces
The item shows normal, pleasant signs of aging and use, visible in the photographs, consistent with the era and capable of giving it that lived-in look typical of a genuine vintage piece. Overall it presents very well and fully retains its elegance and functionality.
A chessboard that goes beyond mere pastime: thanks to its substantial dimensions, the quality of materials, and the warm wood tones, it constitutes a refined furnishing complement, ideal on a coffee table, in a study, a library, a classic living room, or in a contemporary setting with a discerning taste.
