Franklin Mint - The King Tutankhamun Egyptian Chess Set - Heavy 24 carat gold-plated - flawless

Museum quality! The 32 chess pieces are inspired by the figures from the Tutankhamun era. The metal chess pieces are beautifully detailed and heavy gold-plated with 24 carat gold. The pedestals are hand-painted enamel in the colours black and ivory. The chess pieces contain a protective top layer which ensures that no tarnish and/or discoloration can ever occur. The frame of the chessboard is made of hardwood, finished with black ebony accents, and held up by four holy guards of the tomb. These, too, are very detailed and gold-plated with 24 carat gold. On all sides, original Egyptian hieroglyphs are written which translate to 'Tutankhamun's chess set' in Dutch. The playing field is made of ebony and rosewood. The chessboard measures 41 x 41 cm. Total height is 35 cm. The chess set is covered by a beautiful glass pyramid-shaped protective cover. The entire chess set is truly in very perfect condition, see the many detailed photos. Due to the fragility of the glass pyramid, the chess set will in principle not be sent. But if shipping is desired, it will be at the buyer's risk. Within the Benelux, the game will be delivered for free (with the exception of the Frisian Islands).
