The Art Deco chess set captures the essence of the 1920s and 1930s, a golden age of design and glamour. Inspired by the revolutionary works of artists like Picasso, Braque, and Matisse, Art Deco celebrated geometric elegance, bold lines, and patterns drawn from Aztec, Egyptian, and Oriental influences. This movement flourished after the First World War, culminating in the 1925 Paris exhibition L’Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which gave the style its name.

Embraced by Hollywood during its golden era, Art Deco became synonymous with modernity and sophistication. From film sets to luxury goods, its influence was seen everywhere. This chess set reflects those inspiring qualities, offering a streamlined, geometric design that blends art with functionality, making it a timeless gift for collectors and chess enthusiasts alike.
