Chess made of amber "Insterburg"

Insterburg amber chess is an exceptional class piece that combines the decorative appeal and philosophical depth of the game. The set includes a board decorated with a mosaic of natural amber in two tones, and figures made by hand from light and dark Baltic stone. The chessboard is framed by geometric edging made of precious woods, each cell is laid out by hand, with precise adjustment of textures and shades. The inside of the chess case simultaneously serves as a storage for the pieces — each of them is housed in an individual compartment upholstered in soft velvet.

The amber used in the creation of this product has not only collectible, but also cultural value. The sunstone, fossilized over millions of years, preserves the breath of ancient forests and the memory of the Baltic coast. The light fragments shimmer with honey-golden highlights, the dark ones go into the depths, as if dragging out the gaze. The amber shapes are honed to a laconic silhouette, where classic shapes are read through the play of highlights and translucency. There is a plastic feeling in each figure that is inherent in a piece of jewelry, rather than a utilitarian object.

This chess set is designed for those who know how to appreciate not only the course of a game, but also the atmosphere in which it unfolds. The thing is endowed with weight, history and character. It can take a central place in an office or become the culmination of a private collection of amber objects. Such a gift speaks to the taste, scale of thinking and the ability to enjoy rare states — reflection, silence, thoughtful movement.
