Aluminum, Brass & Glass Checkers and Chess Set by Antonella Fonda, 1980s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Game of checkers and chess by designer Antonella Fonda. The board is made of fine 5 mm glass, carefully silk screen-printed with indelible ink. The lower truncated pyramid support is made of wood, covered with a thin layer of black velvet. Chess and checkers have been finely crafted by specialists, the metal used is brass both for its consistency and because it is better suited to the galvanic process. The turning and milling marks are proof that the objects have been carefully worked one by one and not printed in series. For the coloring, the gilding with gold was made with a galvanizing and chrome-plating process. All the pieces have a velvety red covering on the bottom with the designer's signature.
