Product description
1970s handmade chess set crafted from genuine Volterra alabaster, originating from the historic artisanal hub of Tuscany, Italy. This particular set stands out as a magnificent collector's item due to its extraordinary color palette, finding a vintage Volterra set in this vibrant, deep red is exceptionally rare. The brilliant red pieces and matching checkered squares offer a dramatic, high-contrast aesthetic against the luminous, milky-white alabaster. Every single piece in this set is a miniature sculpture, showcasing classic Italian Mid-Century craftsmanship. The board features a solid, substantial border that beautifully frames the playing field. Presented in excellent condition, this set carries a sophisticated presence, making it as much a high-end decorative art statement for a luxury interior as it is a functional, masterfully crafted game. The pieces of this chess set are sculptures.
