Wilhelm Schiller & Son Earthenware Chess Table
Artist: Wilhelm Schiller & Son
Bohemia, late 19th century. Rare, collectible, polychrome glazed earthenware chessboard, made by the Wilhelm Schiller & Son factory (Bohemia), late 19th century, original maker's mark present. The square 50 x 50 cm top is laid out in a checkerboard pattern and rests on a richly sculpted and openwork four-legged base decorated with historicist scrolls and foliage in high relief. The deep and perfectly preserved glazes—ruby red, turquoise blue, olive green, and gold highlights—attest to exceptional craftsmanship. No restoration; a rare state of preservation for this type of monumental piece. A highly sought-after object, combining Bohemian ceramic art, ceremonial furniture, and the world of chess, destined for a specialist collection or a prestigious interior.
