This beautiful, hand made, talking point chess set in a Dragons design is a great alternative to the traditional Staunton style of chess set.
A good sized set with the tallest figure, the king, standing at 3 1/4" (8cm) with a 1 3/4" (4cm) base, while the shortest, the pawn, stands at 5 1/4" (5.5cm) with a 1 1/2" (3cm) base, the rook has the widest base at 2" (5cm). The whole set (all 32 pieces) weighs in at approx 1.6kg.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no board with this set, see our listings for available boards.
Due to the size of the base on the rook, the minimum size board square for this chess set is 2 1/2" (60mm) squared board, as photographed. Our recommendation would be a 2 3/4" (70mm) squared board.
The set is cast in a hard and durable stone casting powder, giving each piece beautiful detail and definition. The hand colouring and finishing, ensures durablity and quality; futher enhancing the details. It's worth noting that the hand colouring process produces a unique effect that is slightly different on every piece, making each one unique. The set is completed with a felt base for each piece ensuring that your board does not become scratched.
Although this set is beautifully decorative, it is very durable and is intended to be used and enjoyed as much as displayed.
The colours for these pieces are a stone for the light and an aged red for the dark.
Each piece is hand coloured and takes the colours and finish differently, so please be aware that there will be slight colour variations between pieces.
Each piece will be individually wrapped and packed in a sturdy cardboard box ensuring the best protection possible. Wherever possible we will use recycled packing to reduce our environmental impact, so please don't be surprised if your chess set arrives in a pre-loved Amazon or cat food box!
Total weight 1.6kg, so postage will represent that. If you wish to make alternative arrangements for postage or collection please contact us.
