AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful bronze-cast and silver-plated chess set.
The pieces are themed around the Crusades, with the Knights Templar fighting the Arabs.
La Nueva España edition.
The pieces are roughly similar in size: 7 cm, and the pawns 5.6 cm; base diameter: 2.2 cm. They are distinguished by their respective symbols.
The name of each piece is written in relief underneath.
All the pieces have felt on the base, which may be in various colors, and they are in very good condition.
The set comes in a synthetic-material display case, where the pieces are stored individually in a tray with velvet-lined compartments tailored to each piece.
The approximate dimensions of the case are 30 × 30 × 3 cm.
The pieces are in very good condition, as can be seen in the photos.
On the reverse is the PVC game board, which may show signs of wear over time.
The set is almost like new, except for the methacrylate lid, which may have scratches or small cracks from use and the passage of time.
A great opportunity to own a chess set that has been out of production for more than 30 years.
