Description from the seller
Vintage spectacular chess set with bronze/pewter pieces representing Christian and Muslim troops from the late Middle Ages during the Crusades. The pieces have a high level of detail, relating to the Arab world. The figures are metal bronze; king height 8 cm, base 2.5 cm. The black velvet base is in very good condition. Board is embossed wood, 34 cm by 34 cm, which is also the top of the box, making it ideal; its condition is very good.
Original box with battlefield relief on the sides; the box is epoxy-lined where the pieces are stored individually, with black velvet lining. The set measures 47 cm by 47 cm at the bottom and 38 cm at the top, with a height of 6 cm. Significant thickness and overall detail; broad photographic detail to assess and determine, depending on its condition to be assessed.
Specialized destination packaging for large volume and weight; shipments outside the European Community or outside the Continent are not contemplated in Catawiki and incur an additional shipping cost. Ideal Christmas gift.
