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. The chess pieces are beautifully preserved, their contours crisp and elegant, while the original storage box shows meaningful signs of age, revealing the passage of time without compromising function or beauty.

More than a game, this set is a statement of artistry and refinement. Ideal as a centre-piece in a living room or study, or for long autumn and winter evenings spent in quiet reflection. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Italian treasure — poised between design object and heirloom.
