Description from the seller

Absolutely. Based on the photos, I would adjust the description so it matches the actual appearance of the set more closely. In particular, the board has a cream/light stone base with irregular natural fossil-like markings and alternating rectangular inlays in golden, amber, brown and reddish tones. The pieces also have a more varied natural-stone appearance than the original description suggests.

Handcrafted Natural Stone Chess Set with Inlaid Board and Blue Velvet Case

This distinctive handcrafted chess set combines traditional chess design with the natural beauty and variation of polished stone. The chessboard features a light cream and beige natural-stone surface, decorated with an arrangement of contrasting golden, honey-brown, amber and reddish-brown stone inlays. The natural markings and variations visible throughout the board give each square a unique character.

The chess pieces are individually shaped from natural stone and have a varied combination of light cream, beige, golden, brown and reddish tones. Their natural colouring and visible stone patterns complement the inlaid board, creating a cohesive yet richly varied appearance. Each piece has a traditional chess form with a polished finish.

The complete set is presented in a deep blue velvet-lined storage and presentation case, with individual compartments designed to hold the chess pieces securely. The case also accommodates the chessboard, making it suitable for storage, transportation and display.

The combination of natural stone, contrasting inlays and traditional chess-piece forms gives this set both a functional and decorative character. It can be used for playing chess or displayed in a study, library, office, games room or living space.
