AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and precious vintage travel chess set produced in Italy by the famous ANRI manufactory (Val Gardena) for the prestigious Toriart line, dating from the late 1960s / early 1970s.
The set depicts the famous historical theme of Charlemagne and the legend of Montsalvat. The pieces, finely detailed, were handmade in composite material (wood powder and resin) and manually painted. The peculiarity of this version lies in its magnetic nature: each piece is equipped with a magnet at the base that provides stability on the playing surface, making it a perfect luxury travel set.
Under the main pieces are still perfectly preserved the original blue labels certifying authenticity: "Hand Crafted and Hand Painted by ANRI Italy".
The original wooden case serves both as a molded container for the individual pieces and as a chessboard on the outside.
• The 32 pieces are in excellent condition, completely intact, with no breaks or missing parts. The wooden chessboard shows some light superficial scratches on the playing surface due to age, which attest to its history. Inside the lid, the brass latch is perfectly functioning.
An exquisite antique piece, ideal for collectors of vintage chess and lovers of Italian artistic craftsmanship.
