The peasants used to sell the items at spring markets. Part of the autonomous region Alto Adige/Southern Tyrol in Italy, the Val Gardena is known for its ancient romantic language, its skiing facilities and its old tradition of woodcarving. The ANRI company’s chess sets from the 1950s through the 1980s were produced in this region and have gained collector status, thanks to their unparalleled quality.The Anri workshops are renowned all over the world because of the wonderful wooden sculptures and statues made by the famous local sculptors and carvers.This set is NEW OLD STOCK, NEVER USED.
