Description from the seller
Vintage spectacular chess set and bronze/tin figures representing Christian and Muslim troops from the late Middle Ages during the Crusades. The pieces have a high level of detail, Arab world influence. The figures are made of bronze; measurements: king 8 cm tall, 6.4 cm (likely) with a 2.5 cm base. Black velvet base, in very good condition. Board in embossed wood, 34 cm by 34 cm, which is also the top of the box; surrounding it makes it ideal, very good condition.
Original box with relief war scenery on the sides; it is epoxy, where the pieces are stored individually, with black velvet. The overall set measures 47 cm by 47 cm at the bottom and 38 cm at the top, with a height of 6 cm. Important thickness and see extensive photographic detail to assess and determine, depending on its condition to be evaluated.
