About the Item
This elegant chess set features a richly patinated leather-covered board with a raised, framed playing surface and finely tooled geometric corner details. The warm leather tones give the board a sculptural, architectural presence, while the grid is subtly embossed rather than inlaid, creating a refined, monochromatic effect. The set is accompanied by a complete group of hand-carved wooden chess pieces in contrasting light and dark finishes, traditionally proportioned and well balanced in hand. Together, the materials and craftsmanship evoke the understated luxury of mid-century Italian design, where everyday objects were elevated through quality, tactility, and thoughtful form. Both functional and decorative, this chess set works equally well as a playable game or as a display object for a desk, library, or living space.
