Como guerreros prehispánicos, figuras rústicas luchan en lo alto de una pirámide. Esta maravillosa creación es obra de Armando Ramírez. Las reinas están hechas de tornillos y cojinetes, los reyes son ruedas dentadas y restos de metal, mientras que las bujías y otros desechos encuentran una nueva vida como escultura. Combinando arte y función, Ramírez crea cada pieza a partir de piezas de automóviles desechadas.

“Bit sad”

Purchased Rustic Chess set.Arrived in a timely manner. Dissapointed with the lack of care when finishing this item. Lumps of welding mig left which takes away from being able to identify the pieces...Take some time to finish.Looks rushed :(

“Good product idea”

The product is beautiful but is not good finished like the paint is over the others squares and is metal meaning not safe borders is very sharp dangerous for kids and also scratch the tables if intent to move even a little bit

“High quality, unique, fantastic artistry”

This is such a unique and creative piece of artistry. I love the extra touches like the letter and postcard from the artist and NOVICA. The chess pieces are high quality, heavy, and well crafted. Will certainly purchase more from this artist in the future.
