Collectible, handcrafted malachite chess set - first half of the 20th century

This exceptional chess set, crafted in the early 20th century, is a testament to the timeless craftsmanship of its era.

Each piece is meticulously hand-carved from two exquisite and contrasting materials: lustrous malachite and luxurious marble.

Malachite, with its rich green hues and natural patterns, lends the board a regal sophistication. Marble, chosen for its smoothness and rich texture, perfectly complements the malachite, creating a striking visual contrast.

The hand-carved chess pieces themselves are small works of art.

Condition: very good

The board measures 19x19 cm, and the chess pieces are 20–35 mm tall
