WEDGWOOD:An exceptional, complete chess set in black basalt and white jasper. Designed in an Art Deco style by the sculptor Arnold Machin c1940, the War and the ensuing austerity prevented its manufacture until the 1960's. Although Wedgwood continued making these sets for many years, the moulds wore down with use, and it is only these rare early examples that have the exquisite detail that Machin intended.
The board is also a fitted box for the pieces. C1966. |
