Stunning and rare original chess board and set of 32 game pieces by French designer Jacques Adnet (1901-1984) from the 1950s. The bi-color leather board displays thirty-two pieces. Each piece has Adnet's signature black and cognac contrast hand-stitched leather on an aluminum base. The class of a noble material such as cast aluminum perfectly matches the timeless beauty of genuine leather, and this game of chess set doesn't go unnoticed whenever displayed.
