Description

A contemporary chess set featuring a Hellenic theme, comprising a polished stone board and a collection of cast metal pieces. The board is constructed from alternating squares of green and brown veined onyx alongside white stone, set within a white stone border. The chess pieces are designed in a classical Hellenic style, with rooks shaped as Corinthian columns, knights as rearing horses with riders, and pawns as hoplite soldiers with shields. The pieces are finished in contrasting gold and silver tones. The set is presented in two original cardboard display boxes with red flocked interior trays. One box bears the printed text HELLENIC CHESS HANDICRAFT.
