A striking expression of Italian craftsmanship, this vintage 1970s chess set hails from Tuscany, most likely hewn from the region’s renowned Carrara marble paired with luminous onyx. Its 50cm x 50cm board exudes timeless grandeur, weighing a substantial 11kg, a testament to its solid, sculptural presence.
Each marble square carries gentle veining and a delicate patina — the quiet signature of authentic vintage stone.
