ABOUT PRODUCTID 1812
This chess set from 1960s Poland is an example of mid-century Central European design, where functional forms and everyday practicality converge. The pieces are turned from wood in a minimalist, Staunton-inspired style, divided into two contrasting sets: natural light wood and deep matte black. The stained wooden box, measuring 6 x 31 x 31 cm, doubles as the chessboard, with a classic black-and-natural square layout framed by a black border that emphasizes its geometric rhythm. A small metal hook clasp secures the box, while the reverse features a mill game board, making the set versatile. Both the board and pieces have a smooth, slightly satin texture, and the overall palette is balanced and understated. The set is preserved in very good condition, with subtle signs of use typical for vintage originals from the era, showing no major damage or repairs.
This chess set echoes the spirit of Polish life in the 1960s, when board games were woven into the fabric of daily home life—a quiet counterpoint to the era’s austerity. The restrained forms and lack of ornamentation speak of a time when design prioritized function,
