    (24k gold and silver plated) Chess Set. I bought it in Rome, Italy (1980). Designed by the
    world renowned Italian sculptor Piero Benzoni.
    It is handmade using
    unrivaled attention to detail and a mastery of the lost wax casting technique.
    Very elegant, luxurious, ornate and decorative - Piero Benzoni’s Historical Collection:
    'Civilta Egizia'
    or
    'Pharaoh Tutankhamun'
    themed complete chess set with the matching board frame.
    This chess set sells for over ,000 at Pianki's web-site (if available and/or special order). Here is the link:

    .
    The following are approximated measurements & details of the chess pieces & board.

    gold clothes, head piece, shoulder strap & arrows on gold pieces; gold accent on head piece, bow, royal belt & quiver on silver pieces.
    - More details:
    There is gold on the top surface of the pedestals for the gold pieces & silver on the top surface of the pedestals for the silver pieces.  All the pedestals are 1.00” square except for the pawns who stand on a .75” square.
    Chess Board:
    The board is made of 2.25” squares of three shades of onyx (Bianca, Multi-Brown & Multi-Green) which are embedded in a handcrafted 24kt. gold plated & silver plated solid bronze base frame that measures 22" x 22".  The base frame is highly decorated in the center with a large "Mask of Tutankhamun" with Egyptian scenery (repeated four times).  Four beautiful sphinxes accent and elevate the board as pedestals at each corner and it is 3-1/2" high.
    There are no broken, cracked nor repaired parts to either the chess pieces or the board and it is all original.  There is some natural tarnishing to the gold & silver plated areas, all consistent with its age!
    PS - The weight of the chess set is approximate 35 lbs.
