Description from the seller

This handcrafted chess set from the 1940s or 1950s is a unique piece that combines functionality with decorative elegance. Made entirely of wood, the board features a simple yet sophisticated design, with finishes that evoke the Art Deco style: geometric lines, marked symmetry, and a refined aesthetic that highlights the beauty of the essential.

The board is generously sized, designed to accommodate Staunton size 5 pieces, making it ideal for both play and display. Each square is meticulously crafted in contrasting colors, and the surrounding frame—with integrated metal handles—suggests a dual function as a decorative tray, adding a touch of versatility and character.

The wood shows signs of natural aging, with paint marks and wear that don't detract from its value, but rather add authenticity and a patina of history. This chess set is not only a game, but also a collector's item that reflects the taste and craftsmanship of the mid-20th century.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
