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.
The chess board features alternating squares of stained ivory and tortoiseshell, inlaid with delicate silver stars and scrolls. The sides are veneered with tortoiseshell and silver foil trim, adding to its opulent appearance. Two drawers are cleverly incorporated into the design to house the intricately carved chess pieces.
Each piece is a work of art in itself, made from 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 one meticulously crafted with attention to detail.
Stamped by renowned silversmith Paul Solanier, this Chess set is not only a functional game but also a stunning decorative object that exudes elegance and sophistication. It stands as a testament to the rich history of European craftsmanship during the Baroque period.
