Dominique Kleiner - Échiquier d’Art Premium – « Bleu Royal » – N°1/10 – 49 × 49 cm

Premium Art Chessboard – “Royal Blue” – No. 1/10 – 49 × 49 cm
An exceptional piece, conceived as a true decorative art object and produced in an extremely limited series of only 10 copies. The presented exemplar is No. 1/10, the first number of this Premium edition.
With a generous 49 × 49 cm format, the chessboard combines an aluminum playing surface with an elegant cabinet in noble wood, which gives it depth, presence, and a high-end finish. Its graphic composition, dominated by deep blue, white, and gold tones, gives it a spectacular aesthetic, straddling chess tradition and contemporary creation.
A true artisanal work
The 32 pieces are made of resin and then fully hand-painted, one by one.
Every relief, every ornament and every detail receives meticulous painting and finishing work. The blue, white, and gold shades are applied manually to emphasize the particularly rich volumes of the sculptures.
Creating a piece of this complexity represents many hours of artisanal work, from piece preparation to the multiple steps of painting and finishing. The numerous detailing requires patience, precision, and meticulousness, which makes each copy slightly different and gives it its own character.
The board itself fully participates in the artwork: its very detailed central graphic extends beneath the pieces and transforms the chessboard into a decorative composition in its own right.
An especially exclusive edition
This Premium version will be produced in only 10 copies worldwide.
The edition offered at auction is the highly sought-after:
