Bidspirit auction | A Vintage Hand-Carved Chess Set

A Vintage Hand-Carved Chess Set in Fitted Presentation Cases - This set comprises a polished stone chessboard and thirty-two hand-carved chess pieces. The board is constructed from alternating squares of white marble and multi-coloured banded onyx in shades of green, brown, and cream, enclosed within a bevelled white marble border. The chess pieces are carved in a simplified Staunton-inspired style. One side is fashioned from white marble or white onyx, and the opposing side is crafted from multi-coloured banded onyx, matching the darker squares of the board. The set is housed in two matching presentation cases. Each case features a dark green velvet-covered exterior with metal latches and a fitted interior lined with pleated bright green satin. One case holds the board securely, while the other features individual recessed compartments for each chess piece. No maker's marks, labels, or signatures are visible on the pieces, board, or cases.
