Rare Vintage Alabaster Chessboard Set - Handcrafted in Italy, 1960s-70s

Exquisite Alabaster Chessboard Set, originating from Italy in the 1960s-70s, boasting remarkable craftsmanship and timeless beauty.

Impressive dimensions of 38cm x 38cm, with the chessboard alone weighing approximately 4.3kg, showcasing its substantial and luxurious nature.

Each chess piece, ranging from 5 cm to 9 cm in height, is meticulously carved from genuine alabaster, adding a touch of opulence to the set.

The chessboard's reverse side is varnished, displaying a dark yellow hue from age, while lacking feet, contributing to its sturdiness and weight. Also note that one of the pieces seem to be repaired 

Appreciate the uniqueness of this set, as the varying veins in the alabaster and the dye absorption rates ensure that no two sets are identical.

Original sticker proudly declares "RB Genuine Alabaster, Hand carved Made in Italy,"

This exclusive chessboard set is truly unobtainable, adding an aura of exclusivity and rarity to any collection.

Despite its age, the set remains in very good condition, a testament to its quality and enduring charm.
