Up for auction today is this lovely Tunisian Two-tone Chess set. The board is olive woodwood, and the pieces are brass- and silver-tone. It is handmade and hand carved-- a truly stunning twist on the usual black-and-white chess set!! Sure to become the focal point wherever you put it. Just look at the fine workmanship that went into the carving of each square on the board, and each individual game piece! A handy feature are the two little drawers on opposite ends of the board for times when the game stretches on for days and you don't want to lose your opponents pieces that you won.
Great size, great for kids to learn the game .

The pieces are heavy! They alone weigh 0.5 kg. This beautiful chess set will make the perfect gift for someone special. I know you won't find one bigger, better, or more beautiful on eBay!
you may get a slightly different board to the one in the photos because of the irregularity of the wood and no two are alike
