EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a magnificent Chess set from Augsburg, dating back to the early 18th century. Crafted with exquisite detail, this set features silver inlay, tortoiseshell veneer, ivory, and ebonised wood. The intricate design showcases the artistry of the German School from that period.
Each piece in this Chess set bears the stamp of renowned silversmith Paul Solanier (1635-1724), adding to its historical significance. One of the ivory pieces even bears an indistinct signature 'HE../M...', hinting at its mysterious origins.
The board itself is a work of art, measuring 56.5x56.5x11.5 cm and displaying a perfect balance between elegance and functionality. The combination of materials - silver, ivory, wood - creates a harmonious blend that is both visually striking and tactilely pleasing.
Chess enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail in each figurine and statuette on this board game masterpiece. From knights on horseback to intricately carved pieces representing different orders of knights, every element tells a story waiting to be played out on the chessboard.
This print by Bridgeman Images truly brings out the beauty and craftsmanship of this Augsburg Chess set, making it a must-have for any collector or lover of fine art from the 18th century Germany.
