AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Chess Ricardo Heart of a Lion
Historic chess in a luxury edition. Theme about Richard I of England, Richard the Lionheart, the Knights Templar and the Crusades, in the Holy Land, against Saladin and the Arab troops.
The pieces are a spectacular medieval historical bronze set in gold and silver color, with the pawns’ shields enameled, with great attention to detail in their making. Special mention deserves the Arabian horses, they are spectacular. In fact all the pieces are precious. Judge for yourself.
With dimensions for Richard I and Saladin of 8.5 cm and the rest of the figures around 6.5 cm. They have a lot of weight.
The board-container where the pieces are stored is wood, beautifully decorated along the edges with scenes of weapons and medieval landscapes. With quite large dimensions, a height of 6 cm and a width of 46 cm.
Quite an opportunity to own a marvelous chess set that recalls the history of the Crusades, discontinued for more than 40 years.
The condition of the set is almost perfect, almost new, as can be seen. Only a small scuff on one corner of the container, practically imperceptible.
It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to protect it during transport. With tracking number
