A magnificent brass 32 piece chess set designed by Carl Auböck with wonderful patina. This design is more uncommon than others by Carl Auböck featuring figures lifted by stems. Interestingly, the rooks in this set are a variant I have not seen in other examples. Here, the body continues to the floor unlike other examples where the rook is raised by a stem.
