Chess set - Meerdere sets - Wood

170 Vintage & Antique Chess Pieces | An Unfinished Art Project. 170 chess pieces. One artist. A work of art that never came to be.

This remarkable collection was once assembled by an artist for a commissioned artwork. The idea was there. So were the materials. Only the execution never happened.

And now? 170 wooden chess pieces, each with its own character.

From elegantly turned kings and queens to expressively carved knights, rooks and pawns. Different types of wood, colors, styles and finishes. A colorful collection from a range of periods and countries.

Not a neat chess set. But 170 small sculptures.

A fantastic starting point for an art installation, assemblage or distinctive interior statement. Or for a collector who enjoys searching the pieces for forgotten chess sets.
