Mid-Century Modern Chess Table of Wood with Stunning Tree Knots Pattern & Light

About the Item

Rare design and great looking, handcrafted wooden chess table with unique natural patterns and colors. This midcentury era chess table (with built-in lamp in the base) has some of the most beautiful, natural colors ever. We don't know what type of Brasilian nutwood this table is made of, but this shape and these great colors will combine beautifully with all kinds of styles and materials. The design, the warm colors and especially the wonderful tree knot pattern in this all-handcrafted table are an absolute joy to look at. And with the light switched on, only the cores of the tree knots turn into a beautiful, deep red and almost purple color. We tried to shoot some photos with the light in the base of this table switched on, but the result is not at all what it looks like in real life (so much better looking than in our photos). We have sold a few table lamps of this 'knotted wood', but we have never seen a chess table of this amazing material. Apart from a few minor imperfections this very stylish chess table is in superb condition and it stands as strong and stabile as the day it was handcrafted in Brasil, about half a century ago. At the bottom of the base is the ink-stamp-maker's-mark and the lamp inside this organic work of beauty is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage the world over. And when purchased by an American client we will also attach an American power plug so it can be used and enjoyed upon arrival. So if you are chess playing enthousiast and you like to play the game of chess with family or friends then this table could be perfect for you. Even if you hardly play at all, it is antiques like this that can help create a perfect, stylish and warm atmosphere in your living room, study or library. Especially with a set of quality chess pieces on top, this rare table will never fail to impress. Mind you, our fair price for this chess table includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.
