Description from the seller

Chess design game in aluminum and brass by David Marshall, from the 1980s. It is constructed with opposing pieces of heavy gold-colored brass and lightweight silver-colored aluminum. With a seal. In perfect condition. without its original box. A collector's piece from the 1980s, designed by the renowned David Marshall. This game is not just for playing; it is a modern sculpture and a style statement that captures the essence of industrial design from its era.

Unique conceptual design: Marshall created a masterful visual and tactile contrast, facing heavy, shiny golden brass against light, cold silver aluminum. Every movement on the board becomes a dialogue between two metals, two weights, and two eras.

Authenticity Guaranteed: The piece is signed by the designer on one side.

Quality and Presence: Made with noble materials and generous dimensions, it is an object that commands presence. The board, with its 33.5 cm width, provides a solid base for pieces with exceptional weight and size (the King measures 6.5 cm tall), perfect for display.
