Description
Minimalist Brass and Aluminum Chess Pieces.
Offered here is an unusual and well-made set of vintage minimalist chess pieces, turned from solid brass and aluminum bar stock. With their clean profiles and restrained geometric forms, these chessmen embody the crisp industrial elegance associated with mid-century modern design.
The king stands 3-7/8 inches tall with a 1.0 inch diameter base. The set is best suited for play or display on a chessboard with 2 inch squares. The contrasting warm brass and cool aluminum give the set a refined modernist look.
This is a complete mid-20th century set, probably made in the United States, and preserved in excellent condition. Its combination of solid metal construction and minimalist design makes it especially appealing to collectors of vintage chess sets, industrial design, and modern decorative objects. The white and black gloss veneer chessboard with 2″ squares shown is not included in this offering but is available at a 20% discount as an option here if ordered with these chessmen.
