Chess table (2) - Oak Wood, Sandalwood, Mother-of-pearl - Hindu Table

Indian Oak Table

An extraordinary handcrafted table of Indian origin, made of solid oak and mother-of-pearl. The table has mother-of-pearl inlays forming floral motifs in its corners, and the squares on the board are made up of an elaborate geometric design in the shape of a square truncated pyramid in mother-of-pearl.

A drawer slides out from the table, allowing the game pieces to be stored inside. It is quite large, measuring 59 cm on each side and 41 cm high. It is very heavy.

The pieces are made of sandalwood. They are beautifully carved, with extraordinary detail. The King measures 10 cm in height, and the pawn 4.5 cm. The case has a few signs of wear on the outside, but its interior is in perfect condition, as are the pieces it contains.

The robustness of the oak means this table will last for many generations.

The pieces and the table make a wonderful set, but judge for yourself.

It will be shipped in suitable packaging to protect it during transit, via CATAWIKI’s smart shipping service.
