Schach, Schachbrett

The chessboard’s components  - glass rods of different colours, gilded trims and rosettes – are similar to the frames of some Ambras glass pictures. That’s why it can be said that it was made in the court’s glassworks in Innsbruck. Glass objects played an important role in Ferdinand’s collection.
