AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
**Decorative Inlaid Chessboard with Carved Figurative Pieces – 30 × 30 cm**
Distinctive wooden chessboard featuring rich geometric decoration and figurative pieces with flat, carved and engraved silhouettes.
The board alternates black squares with honey-colored squares adorned with star-shaped rosettes and small mother-of-pearl details. Fine lines frame the playing area, while a banded frame and finely grooved border complete the design.
The pieces, in wood-brown and bone-cream tones, depict stylized figures, horses and towers, all on rectangular bases. The engravings define faces, clothing and headdresses, giving the set an unusual sculptural character compared with traditional chess pieces.
An object to use for playing or display on a side table, desk or as part of a collection of curiosities.
**Chessboard dimensions:** 30 × 30 cm.
**Piece height:** from 4.5 to 7.5 cm.
**Total weight:** approximately 1.5 kg.
Shows signs of use, surface scratches and wear to the finish, with small chips and losses along the edges of the chessboard and one small inlay missing from a square, as shown in the images. Condition as shown in the photographs, which form an integral part of the description.
