Impresionante y maravillosa colección.....
This is a beautiful and amazing story! What amazing couple.
Some amazing sets. Many are so old and rare but all are beautiful. I collect sets on a much smaller scale because of my limited budget. Nothing older than the 1950's and mostly the classic medieval style sets by Kingsway, Gallant Knight, Lowe, and Peter Ganine. There were also different versions of these sets that were made in gold and silver, or different materials and I try to collect them all. Medieval style pieces are my preference. I especially like the deluxe Gallant Knight Florentine set that was made in Gold and Silver with it's own carrying case. That is all my all time favorite set even though it is not too rare or expensive.
I admire the dedication and pure devotion of this group of collectors. So amazing!
thank you
What a great entertainment for chess lovers! Superb, SIMPLY SUPERB!!
Very interesting, but I laughed when I saw that someone had stuck "TOP" on the Faberge' set. Rather write something like "Caution, Bottom side" underneath..
