Description from the seller

Impressive vintage medieval historical chess set with bronze/metal alloy figures depicting "The Reconquista" and the clashes between Christian and Muslim troops of the Late Middle Ages during the Crusades.

This lot includes a spectacular structure (pyramid-shaped base) made of various materials with different relief scenes on all sides. At its top, there is a beautiful wooden board, which on one side is a chessboard, and on the other side, it allows you to protect the board.

Additionally, the chess set includes a complete set of 32 highly detailed metal pieces (the pawns on each side have their shields enameled) representing the Christian and Muslim factions. These pieces range from 6.5 to 8 cm. The pieces are perfectly protected and placed in a specially designed structure, and they are stored inside a larger structure.

The entire set is in excellent condition.

Ideal for collectors, as well as for historians or chess lovers.

It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to protect it during transit, with a tracking number.
