Italian Chess Set in Cast Metal on Carved Wooden Board, 1970s

Offered by: MA+39

Description
Elegant vintage chess set inspired by Italian Grand Tour artistry, dating from the 1970s. The sculptural pieces are cast in contrasting metals—antique-bronze patina for one side and silvered finish for the other—each figure modeled with classical Roman and Renaissance-style detailing, from column-form rooks to finely draped kings and queens. The set rests on a richly crafted wooden board featuring an embossed border and a warm brown-and-black checker pattern, giving the ensemble a refined Old World character. A decorative yet functional display piece, perfect for a study, library, or curated design collection.
