Gothic medieval - Handcrafted Chess set, traditional colours
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A MADE TO ORDER ITEM AND THE BOARD IS NOT INCLUDED
This exquisite hand-made chess set offers a distinctive alternative to the traditional Staunton style. Inspired by a 14th Century German design and reminiscent of the Lewis chessmen, this set is tailored for a smaller board due to its compact sizing.
Each piece boasts intricate detailing, with the King and Queen positioned on elaborately carved thrones. The King features warrior characteristics, while the Queen is accompanied by her ladies in waiting. The Bishop stands with a selection of musicians, highlighting the thoughtful craftsmanship.
A standout piece, the Rook, represents a 'warrior musician' and is the first known example of this piece being associated with a castle, adding historical significance to your gameplay.
Please be advised that this set does not include a board. Kindly refer to our available boards in separate listings. 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 of 1 7/8”" (48mm), making it the recommended choice. 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.
