AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful cast bronze and silver chess set. The theme of the figures refers to the Crusades, with Knights Templar against the Arabs. Edition: La Nueva España. With similar figure dimensions, 7 cm for the pieces and 5.6 cm for the pawns, base 2.2 cm in diameter, they differ by the symbolism of each piece. With the definition of each piece written below in relief. All pieces have a felt base in various colors and are in very good condition. The set comes in an exhibit-style case made of synthetic material, where the figures are stored individually in a tray with velvet cells sized for each figure. The approximate dimensions of the box are 30 cm by 30 cm by 3 cm. The condition of the figures is very good, as can be seen. On the back is the PVC game board, which may show signs of aging. The condition is almost new, except for the acrylic lid, which may have scratches or small tears from use and aging. A real opportunity to own a discontinued chess set that has been out of production for more than 30 years.
