This 1960-70's set is attributed to Pierre Cardin's Evolution set, as the Cardin logo "P" is represented in the Bishop piece.

The silver pieces are flaking, one has flaked completely off and is a super shiny silver metal. This set has lots of "patina" and would benefit from polishing or recoating. Please see close up photos of this all original as found vintage set. I personally love the patina! less
