Delivery EstimateLike pre-Hispanic warriors, rustic figures do battle atop a pyramid. This wonderful creation is the work of Armando Ramírez. Queens are fashioned of screws and bearings, kings are cogwheels and metal scraps, while sparkplugs and other castoffs find a new life as sculpture. Combining art and function, Ramírez creates each piece from discarded automobile parts.

"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.

"Love this artist!!"
We now have at least 4-5 pieces from Armando Ramirez. His talent is phenomenal! This was purchased for our youngest son to hang his car keys and Covid mask on,in his room. This was one of those gifts that is soooo hard to let go of and actually give away. I would love one of just about everything of Armando Ramirez ,we have his amazing deer sculpture that has a place for a votive candle and it is hands down my most favorite piece of art!! Highly recommend getting something from this amazing artist ! His small people sculptures have made charming gifts through the years but his larger work is absolutely exquisite!!!
