About the Item

Brass chess board and chess game made with the ancient casting technique. After casting, the finish was chiseled and subsequently silvered and finished with 24-carat gold plating.

Italian silverware, already with a centuries-old tradition, had a great development in the twentieth century and produced pieces of the highest quality that the whole world envies. Italian craftsmanship had a kind of new Renaissance after the war. A great many high-quality silverware was born where exceptional pieces were produced that now decorate the most prestigious houses.
