Medieval Dragon Hunt - Handcrafted Chess set, traditional colours
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A MADE TO ORDER ITEM AND THE BOARD IS NOT INCLUDED
This exquisite handmade chess set is a remarkable alternative to the classic Staunton design. Similar in style to the Isle of Lewis chess pieces. Each piece is carefully carved, reflecting a high level of craftsmanship and artistic expression. The detailing is particularly impressive on the backs of the royal pieces.
The rook takes inspiration from the original 'warrior musician' concept, diverging from the traditional castle design. The knight is crafted to depict a scene of bravery as it overcomes a dragon, adding a narrative element to the game. The bishop is represented as a shepherd, symbolising care and guidance. The queen, embodying strength, holds a hawk, while the king is portrayed alongside two lurchers or greyhounds, suggesting loyalty and agility.
This chess set is a significant addition to any collection. The king, the tallest piece, stands at 4" (10 cm) with a base measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), while the smallest piece, the pawn, measures 1 1/2" (4 cm) tall and has a base of 1 1/4" (3 cm). The entire set, consisting of 32 pieces, weighs approximately 1.5 kg, combining robustness with elegance, making it suitable for both display and 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 2 3/8" (60mm), making it the recommended choice.

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.
