AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and iconic vintage Russian chess set from the late Soviet period (the 1980s).
This beloved collector's item is known in Russia as "Сказочное царство" (Fairy-tale Kingdom). In the West the set is especially famous for its unique design: the chess pieces are stylized as traditional, charming Matryoshka dolls.
Features:
• Craftsmanship: Each piece is hand-painted and given a characteristic face. Even the knights are beautifully shaped as wooden horse heads.
• Color scheme: The set consists of one side with red-orange-white tones and a side with blue-orange-white tones.
• Board: The wooden chessboard also serves as a storage case for the pieces and closes with metal latches.
An absolute eye-catcher for both chess enthusiasts and collectors of vintage Soviet design and Russian folk art.
Condition:
In good, used vintage condition. The board and pieces show light signs of aging and patina that suit the age, contributing to the authentic character. (Note: please carefully check the photos for the exact cosmetic condition)
