Description from the seller
Exceptional chess game.
A commemorative jewel of the 5th centenary of the conquest of Granada presented on a magnificent wooden table of elegant classical design with Nazarí marquetry decoration and finished on a four-legged base. From the table, two drawers open to store the pieces in a precious felt that has a unique cavity for each piece. Of important dimensions: 50 cm per side, 60 cm diagonal, and 70 cm high.
The refined polished pieces are handmade by the finest artisans in bronze and finished on pedestals gilded in 24-karat gold and silver. It consists of 32 pieces representing the most important figures from both sides of the 15th-century Granada conquest. The Catholic Monarchs, Boabdil, Aixa, great Christian knights and Arab warriors. In the photographs you can appreciate in great detail the porosity of their figures.
Special mention deserves the horses, each one distinct, with great detail and beauty. As with the bishops, also distinct from each other.
It is an exceptional and exclusive work of art, limited edition, discontinued and hard to obtain, with CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
The table is shipped disassembled so you can either use only the tabletop by placing it wherever you choose or assemble the table.
The game is in EXCELLENT CONDITION.
It will be carefully packed and shipped via CATAWIKI's smart shipping service.
