Description
1950s Wood and Gypsum Chess Set
Poland
Painted carved wood on gypsum bases
In the manner and coloring of a Good versus Evil set, these figures hold more quizzical than determined expressions. The manipulative King and Queen, attempting to unleash forces for evil activity, do not seem to be as adept as they imagine at their task. Painting of the "Good" side is in a modernist color block style. Knights are horses and Rooks presented as towers.
King is 9.5 cm and Pawn 7 cm high
Provenance: Jaeger Collection
Condition: Some of the gypsum bases are worn
