Super Rare Chess Board by SAC Studio Anne Carlton Chessboard Beautiful Colors

Description

For your buying pleasure is a
Rarely found chess board that was hand crafted by Studio Ann Carlton (SAC) team. Beautiful colors!
A very interesting vintage chess item.  All measures are approximate.
Only the board is included. No boxes or papers. It came with the rare SAC Samurai chess set (sold). However, all sets and boards are sold separately by SAC.
The board is approx 19 3/4" x 19 3/4" x 1/2" with 2" square and weighs just under 6lbs. Has a polished feel and look of faux marble.
I tried to photograph the pieces from different angles. Sorry for the flash reflections on the board. Since there are no papers and no easy reference, I am showing photos of a couple of other SAC boards / sets I have. These are shown for reference only.
No obvious issues. Vintage so there could be some minor age wear.

Handmade :
The high skill of the designers, sculptors and craftsmen of Studio Anne Carlton shines through in our collection of UK handmade chess sets and European chess boards. The richness of finish and attention to detail contribute to the success of the beautiful products from the Studio Anne Carlton range, which are appreciated on five continents. The chess sets are mainly produced in two finishes made from crushed stone poly resin. Hand painted sets where only certain parts are colored by hand, whilst some areas remain plain, allowing for the natural material to be exposed after a light colored wash of paint.
Collector’s Item:
Studio Anne Carlton, UK made, chess pieces are highly sought after in the collectible markets. The fact that these highly prized pieces are completely hand made makes volume production out of the question. Consequently many of the earlier and discontinued sets are returning substantial prices when appearing at auction. The sets are avidly collected.
