EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a magnificent Chess set from Augsburg, dating back to the early 18th century. Crafted with exquisite detail and precision, this set features silver inlay, tortoiseshell veneer, ivory, and ebonised wood.
The chess board itself is a work of art, with alternating squares of stained ivory and tortoiseshell adorned with intricate silver stars and scrolls. The sides are beautifully veneered with tortoiseshell and silver foil trim, complete with two drawers to house the ornate chess pieces.
Speaking of which, the chess pieces are truly remarkable. Made of ivory on silver-gilt bases and ebonised walnut (?) on ebony and silver bases, each piece is intricately carved in the form of standing warriors, figures on elephants, and figures on horseback.
Stamped by renowned silversmith Paul Solanier (1635-1724), this Chess set is not only a game but also a masterpiece of craftsmanship. With its rich history and exceptional beauty, it stands as a testament to the skill and artistry of the German School during that period.
This print allows us to marvel at this extraordinary piece up close, showcasing its elegance and sophistication for all to admire.
