Item Details

A quite rare partial cast and patinated bronze chess set including pieces and table by Daved Pritchard. This piece is titled The Arthurian Chess Set and includes cast playing pieces and board integrated into a sculpted table.

The table includes tile inlays set in a checkerboard pattern, including slate and cast symbols of Celtic, Arthurian, and Druid designs. The top rests into a molded frame including detailed cast aprons with figural relief moldings. The table rises up on carved figural legs including gryphon knees ending in ball and claw feet. Comes with paperwork and provenance about the artist.
