AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
CHESS A work of art consisting of 32 pieces made primarily from marble dust sourced from the quarries of Carrara, housed in a specially designed wooden box.
After being made, the pieces are smoothed and individually retouched, then aged and hand-painted by master craftspeople. The entire process takes place in Italy, in the province of Lucca.
This particular chess set faithfully depicts the period and characters of the epic legends of King Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, who around 500 AD established the kingdom of Camelot on the basis of pure and innovative ideals.
As they are entirely handmade, their heights may vary by a few millimeters.
