Chess Set with Storage Drawers & Metal Pieces
This item has been used but is in excellent condition as shown in my pictures the chess pieces are complete and fit into the drawers under the table. Although the pieces are small ( can you see my finger next to one of the pieces ), they are quite heavy pieces which does indicate they are not hollow but strong metal pieces. The pieces are coloured Silver and Copper but i do not believe they are made of this i simply believe they have been painted in these colours. The table is solid, it has been handcrafted and designed in a way which i believe only brings merit to the sale.
The country, now that is a difficult question to answer as it doesn't have any markings on the board or the pieces which indicate which country it comes from as any country could have made this if you think about it, but sadly i cannot list it unless i name a country as this site will not allow me to list a sale without a country of make which kind of backs me into a corner so it's a toss up based on the chess pieces......as you can see the pieces look like they represent either Greek or Roman times, so it is a toss up between the 2 countries so if i was to guess based on the chess pieces i would say Greece as the pawns look like Spartan's but because of the elephants it could be Hannibal......So it's Greece ( Macedonia ), or Italy because of the roman element. I'm pointing towards Greece because of the pawns.......i could be wrong but if i want to list this sale i must say something and as i really do not know which country made it i have decided to say Greece to end the subject.
This sale weighs 1.7kg which is quite weighty for a chessboard but i did say the pieces were quite heavy didn't i, so it kind of makes sense.
As it's under 2kg, this means i can post it anywhere in the world and i will gladly post it to your country.
Kind regards
Nick
Your welcome to make me an offer if you think you can make me stop the sale.
( Their is a problem with the international postage used on this site which causes it to only charge £3.60GBP, if this happens this sale will be cancelled immediately ), i cannot send this item for £3.60 in the UK, so why do you think it will cost that to post it around the world.
