AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spectacular chess composed of two distinct elements.
On one hand, we have a wonderful collector's chess box/board made of high-quality wood (in marquetry), handcrafted in Sorrento, Italy, with marquetry inlays by the brand GIGLIO ASLA, one of the world's highest quality manufacturers with a 70-year tradition. They are preferred suppliers to the English house Official Staunton, whose motto is: 'World’s Finest Chess Sets.' Also included are small photocopies of the warranty certificate, which guarantees that we are talking about an authentic Italian marquetry box. The lot does not include the box key.
The box is made of root wood, and the squares on the board are inlaid square panels veneered in Walnut and Maple, measuring 3.5 cm on each side. This box features small wooden legs that elevate it and add an even more classic touch.
Furthermore, we have a set of 32 polyresin pieces with injected aluminum, belonging to Salvador Dalí's Luxury chess set, signed by his foundation Salvador Dalí SDFV03 (2000-2010). These pieces are part of an exclusive surrealist-designed chess set from the brand "Cinco Días (ENDESA)" from 2004, limited and discontinued. These pieces depict the artist's best works: the melting clock, the long-legged elephant, Dalí's dresses... The dimensions of these pieces range from 5 to 9 cm. They have felt on their bases to avoid damaging them or the board.
Therefore, we are talking about a luxury item since it combines a box/side table made entirely by hand in Italy with genuine quality materials and Dalí's chess pieces. Consequently, we can say that it is a true work of art.
This lot also includes some color photocopies (although they are not visible in the photos) that show and describe each of the pieces and their relationship with the artist's different works.
It is an ideal lot for collectors of chess sets or antiques.
The item will be properly packaged, insured, and with a tracking code.
Is it possible to pick it up in person in Toledo, Spain?
