EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Chess set from Augsburg, dating back to the early 18th century, is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. The intricate details and luxurious materials used in its creation showcase the skill and artistry of the German School artisans who crafted it.
The chess board, measuring 56.5x56.5x11.5 cm, features alternating squares of stained ivory and tortoiseshell inlaid with silver stars and scrolls. The sides are veneered with tortoiseshell and silver foil trim, adding to its opulence. Two drawers are cleverly integrated into the design to house the beautifully crafted chess pieces.
Each piece is a work of art in itself, made of ivory on silver-gilt bases or ebonised walnut on ebony and silver bases. The figures represent standing warriors, figures on elephants, and figures on horseback - each intricately detailed and meticulously carved.
Stamped by renowned silversmith Paul Solanier (1635-1724), this Chess set is not only a functional game but also a stunning display of luxury and elegance from centuries past. Its historical significance combined with its exceptional beauty make it a truly remarkable piece for any collector or enthusiast of fine craftsmanship.
