The intricate craftsmanship of this piece is evident in the silver inlay, tortoiseshell veneer, ivory, and ebonised wood used to create it. Each piece bears the stamp of renowned silversmith Paul Solanier, adding to its historical significance.
The board itself measures 56.5x56.5x11.5 cm and is a true work of art with its detailed design and exquisite materials. The combination of silverwork, ivory figurines, and ebonised wood creates a luxurious aesthetic that speaks to the opulence of the time period.
