G459: Vintage 50s Anri Space Age Chess Set modern design
An early mid century, beautiful chess set by Anri the master wood carvers from Italy in the Black Forest Tradition. This set is called SPACE AGE / Universum, was designed by Arthur Elliot (former Disney Designer / Imagineer) and very much echoes the work of Brancusi. The chessmen each represent a "Space Age" idea: King = SPACE STATION (4 inches tall) , Queen = SPACE SHIP, Bishop = MISSILE, Knight = SATELLITE, Rook = RADAR ...and the Pawn is the ROCKET. The set comes in the original cardboard box (good condition, including working hinges, a little beat) approx. 16" x 9" x 1.5" and a copy of the original SPACE AGE brochure. Pieces in Excellent condition with minimal wear.
