Italian Tortoiseshell Lucite Chess Set

Offered by: MA+39

Description
Sophisticated Italian chess set from the 1970s, crafted in rich tortoiseshell-pattern Lucite with polished brass accents. The board lifts to reveal a fitted interior tray that neatly stores all 32 pieces, each carved in contrasting tones of warm amber and cream Lucite.
The combination of glossy faux-tortoiseshell, transparent compartments, and brass side rails gives the piece a luxurious and iconic 1970s Italian aesthetic. Both a functional game set and a striking decorative object for a coffee table or study. Light wear consistent with age.
