AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful marble chess set with figures cast in bronze and silver plating. The theme of the figures refers to the Crusades, featuring Templar knights and Arabs. It includes a 20 x 20 cm green marble board, 2 cm high, in very good condition. The figures are approximately similar in size, with the larger ones measuring 4.2 cm and the pawns about 3.5 cm, with bases of 1.5 cm in diameter. They are distinguished by their symbolism. All pieces have blue felt on the bases and are in very good condition. The game comes in a display box, which on the other side is marked 'chess game' with a small chip in the corner. The box is made of synthetic PVC with velvet-lined compartments suitable for each piece, measuring 21 x 21 x 2 cm. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a chess set that has been out of production for over 30 years. Despite its age, it is well preserved. A detailed photographic report is included for appreciation and valuation. It will be carefully packaged. Shipping outside the European Community or European and Independent countries is not included in the listed price and will incur an additional shipping cost.

Important notice: Due to the current tariffs implemented by the U.S. government, the Hong Kong Post Office no longer ships parcels to the United States. We regret that we are currently unable to send any packages to the United States.
An extensive photo report is attached for evaluation and consideration of details. It will be specially packaged for shipping and protected to prevent breakage. Shipping outside the European Community or to independent locations, which is not covered by Catawiki, will incur an additional shipping cost. Ideal as a Christmas gift.
