Game of Chess and Checkers Designed by the Architect Antonella Fonda
About the Item
Game of chess and checkers designed by the architect Antonella Fonda.
Chess and checkers have been finely crafted by specialists in the processing of high precision turned small parts, the metal used is brass as it is more suitable, both for its consistency and because it lends itself better to the galvanic process.
The turning and milling marks are proof that the objects have been carefully worked one by one and not printed in series.
For the coloring, gilding with fine gold with a galvanic process and chrome plating were chosen. These treatments also serve to make the metal unalterable.
Chessboard made of fine 5 mm crystal, carefully screen-printed with indelible ink; the lower truncated pyramid support is made of wood, covered with a thin layer of black velvet (the latter loses some black lint).
The designer's signature is present in a corner of the play area and under each piece.
Dimensions of the individual pieces:
- checkers pawn, diameter 2.5 cm, height 0.9 cm, weight 28 grams;
- chess piece, diameter 1.5 cm, height 3.5 cm, weight 46 grams;
- tower, diameter 1.5 cm, height 4.5 cm, weight 58 grams;
- horse, diameter 1.5 cm, height 5.5 cm, weight 64 grams;
- standard bearer, diameter 1.5 cm, height 5 cm, weight 60 grams;
- king, diameter 1.9 cm, height 5 cm, weight 110 grams;
- queen, diameter 1.9 cm, height 5.5 cm, weight 130 grams.
All the pieces have a red velvety coating on the bottom with the designer's signature.
The crystal chessboard has 43.8 cm side, the game area 31.8 cm.
All with original box.
A unique piece, which can be found, dating back to the 1980s/90s.
