Description from the seller

This is not just a chess game but an artistic creation composed of 32 pieces mainly made from marble dust sourced from the Carrara quarries.
The pieces are flattened and touched up one by one after production, then aged and hand-painted by master artisans. The entire process takes place in Italy, in the province of Lucca.
A chess set representing the Battle of Waterloo has been produced in collaboration between De Agostini and Nigri Scacchi. The pieces, handcrafted, depict the main characters and the troops of the Napoleonic army (the 'black') and the British army (the 'white'), allowing players to relive the historic battle on the chessboard. Brand new, never used. As shown in the photo.
