Description: I purchased this set personally way back in 1988. Its a stunning vintage classic chess set, made of (I think) sandstone, marble, and wood. Although other ones like it were made back then, its still a one of a kind, hand carved, masterwork. When compared to other "similar board" and more modern sets made of soapstone, the pieces here are in the classic style, with properly carved pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens and kings (particularly the knights are correctly carved in this set when compared to other modern sets that have similar boards). Storage case doubles as a board. Board/case measures 8 X 8 X 1.5 inches when sealed. Clasps are firm and free of any corrosion. Hinges are smooth. Pieces are not felted. Kings measure approximately 1.75 inches high and 7/8 inches diameter base. Other pieces are smaller accordingly. It pains me to part with this gorgeous chess set, but its time to find it a good home. Will ship with its original 1988 cardboard box. Contact me with any questions or concerns before buying. Thanks for looking.
