I saw this interesting chess set and table at one of the shops at Tiendesitas in Ortigas, Pasig. It was the table that initially caught my attention. Note the intricate carvings on this table. The shop owner said that this table came from Marawi City in Mindanao. I think the chess pieces are more recent and not really vintage (>20 years old). They are finely made though and I could be wrong.
I don't recall the exact price mentioned by the shopkeeper but it is 6 figures so at least 100,000 pesos (I think its probably double). It would be a 'nice to have' set if you have the disposable income or money for this. You will probably need space for it as it will also be an accent or conversation piece.
