Magnificent and Rare Hermès Chess Set, Large Size with Roll-Out Leather Board. Stunning Chess Pieces Hand-Carved of Cassia and Mahogany. One of the most striking, elite and beautiful home furnishings from the master craftsman and designers of Hermès: the Samarcande Chess Set. The design house still makes chess sets but this rare and elite set, substantially larger, was available for a very short time and only a very few available in the early 2000s. Today the set remains highly prized with each chess piece exquisitely hand carved and polished and each a work of art. Further, the design is very much a call back to the forward thinking design elements of the Mid-Century Modern movement.

The luxe Clemence leather chess board "mat" is 36" square. The tallest chess piece is 9.25" with the pawns each 4.5". There is only the slightest evidence of use. It appears this was more a display piece. Set was acquired at Hermès in Beverly Hills. They provided one of their largest boxes to accommodate the chess pieces each wrapped in bubble. But no custom case or boxing was created specific for this set. Leather mat rolls for storing easily.
Retailed original for $21,000 but we note recent sales far exceeding the original price and not anywhere in this find of condition.

Hermès Luxury: Scarce 6 Pin Strike / Bowling Set with Strapped Leather Carrying Tote, Mint in Original Box. Hermès, the French luxury design house has been making elegant goods and lifestyle accessories along with their perfumes, silks and other fashion items for 185 years. For outdoor play, Hermès offered for a very short time, a game going back to the 19th Century of six vertical pins with a carved wood ball. Sure they could be set up on a smooth hard surface and used for bowling. But there are two games this set was designed to play and both involve throwing the wood ball at the pins. Instructions included and set comes in its original fitted box. Deluxe and near to mint (we noticed the ball has two tiny compressions.) A most unusual upscale outdoor game from Hermès for family and friends.
