A collector’s chess set, crafted by expert artists from the art schools of Ortisei and Selva Gardena.
Hand-carved with bevelled chisels, whittling knives and mallets, guided by sensitive and attentive hands that bring shape and life to the wood.
Wood from the alpine forests is best suited to carving. The raw wood is cut, sawn into planks and then reduced into small blocks matching the dimensions of the sculpture to be made.
The expert craftsman uses a pantograph to turn the wooden blocks into rough sculpture forms. These are then worked by hand down to the smallest detail.
The final stage of a wood sculpture is its decoration.
The carvings are burnished and wax-polished entirely by hand, with patience and meticulous care.
The colours used vary from one sculpture to another: each piece is unique.
In the end, this burnished and wax-polished chess set is a true work of art. All too rarely celebrated, these passionate sculptors give you the chance to own a truly unique and exceptionally high-quality chess set.
