About the Item
ANRI "Universum" Space Age Walnut and Maple Chess Set
A strikingly modern "Universum" or Space Age chess set made in Italy by ANRI. The set is contained in a finely crafted wooden case with brass hinges and a brass clasp. Inside the case, two separate felt-lined compartments cradle the chess pieces. The chess pieces are crafted from kiln-dried white maple and black walnut. They are nicely carved and lightly weighted. The entire set is in excellent condition.
The chess pieces were designed by Arthur Elliott, who worked as an early animator for Disney Studios. The pieces are abstract representations of space stations, spaceships, missiles, rockets, satellites, and radar. These chess sets were produced between 1958 and 1982.
Measurements are as follows:
The case measures 11" long x 7.5" wide x 3.5" high. The King measures 4" tall.
