  • Condition: This Mary Stuart Queen of Scots Metal theme chess set was a gift purchased in England in the late 90s and brought back to America. It has seen some travel since then and aged well, with some marks and a couple dents in the tough protective material used to protect the wood board and maintain its color and structure. All marks are pictured, some of them can be buffed out if you trust your knowledge of chemicals on this collectors chess set. The chess pieces themselves are SOLID cast metal, have no chips, oxidization, or deterioration to them. The thin pads have come off for some of the pieces as the glue failed over the years.This is NOT a child's chess set, inappropriate for very young children as the pieces and board are substantial and could damage something if thrown or dropped.There is no branding or initials on the pieces themselves to keep them mark-free, and the original packaging has long since disappeared after 20+ years. Believed to have been an early ITALFAMA set.
  • Material: Metal
  • Color: Multi-Color

    Description

    Mary Stuart Queen of Scots Metal Chess Set w/ Burl Wood Board. Born during the Reformation, Queen Mary lived a controversial life during a time of religious turmoil when Protestantism and Catholicism fought for control. Linked to a plot to assassinate her cousin Queen Elizabeth I of England, she was eventually executed. This is a large chess set with a king that measures 3.75 inches tall. Cast from solid zinc using the age-old lost-wax casting process, you will love the way these substantial pieces feel when playing. The pieces are brass and nickel plated, followed by several layers of lacquer to prevent tarnishing and keep them beautiful. With a little rubbing the pieces gain a highly polished shine beautiful in a display case or formal room.
    The board is mahogany, mahogany burl, and maple, with rich patterns and color. Squares are 1.575" and the overall board 17" x 17"
