Elegant sculptural group in polychrome porcelain with gilding, depicting a gallant scene in Rococo costume: two ladies and a gentleman around a small table with a chessboard. The oval base, decorated with golden motifs, conceals an integrated inkwell with inkwells and sand shaker (today visible separately, with small defects). Work of Northern European manufacture, probably German (Dresden area or similar), datable to the second half of the 19th century / early 20th century. A refined desk object, in which function is combined with historical decoration. Dimensions: Width: 24 cm Depth: 18 cm Height: 20 cm Condition: A hand of the female figure broken, to be restored. Missing some chess pieces (4 elements). Chips and small crack on the inkwell. Slight wear consistent with age. Overall, the porcelain is in healthy condition, without major fractures.
