1970s Gorgeous Brown and White Chess Set in Volterra Alabaster Handmade. Made in Italy

This exceptional chess set is a quintessential example of 1970s Italian Mid-Century Modern design. Hand-carved in Volterra, Italy, this set serves as both a functional game and a significant piece of sculptural art. The artisans have utilized the natural translucency of genuine Volterra alabaster, contrasting deep, earth-toned "chocolate" brown veining against a cloud-like, milky white. Each piece has been meticulously hand-turned and polished to a high-gloss finish, highlighting the unique geological "fingerprint" of the stone. Its minimalist silhouettes and rounded edges reflect the Space Age aesthetic prevalent in high-end Italian interiors of the period. All the pieces are in excellent  condition.
