The figures serve as a reminder of the deeper meanings associated with relationships and the pleasures of life, making it a compelling conversation starter for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

A medium sized set, the king, the tallest piece, reaches a height of 5 1/8" (13cm) with a base of 1 3/8" (3.5cm). In contrast, the pawn, the smallest piece, stands at 2 1/2" (6.5cm) with a base of 1" (2.5cm). Weighing approximately 1.7 kg, this 32-piece set is, an ideal choice for both decorative display and engaging gameplay.

If you have specific board requirements, feel free to reach out before placing your order. The king's base necessitates a minimum board square size 1 7/8" (48mm), however our recommendation would be the 2 3/8" (60mm) squared board. Click the link below for a suitable board.
Crafted from a robust stone casting powder, each piece exhibits meticulous craftsmanship and durability. The application of traditional hand coloring techniques, passed down through generations, guarantees longevity and quality, accentuating the fine details. Fitted with felt bases, these pieces safeguard your board from scratches.
While aesthetically pleasing, this set is designed for practical use and enjoyment, ensuring both ornamental beauty and lasting functionality. Please choose two colours from the options shown to create your ideal scheme.
