Our largest set to date! This is an extremely large set which is well modelled and perfect as a center piece for a large game table, its simply too impressive to be packed away after each game!
A very large set with the tallest figure, the king, standing at 7 1/2" (19cm) with a base of 2 3/4" (7cm), while the shortest, the pawn, stands at 5 1/2" (14cm) with a base of 2 3/4" (7cm). The whole set (all 32 pieces) weighs in at approx 11KG.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no board with this set. The chess set is shown on a 3 1/4" (80mm) board, in distressed brown and black, with a classical edge trim, finished in dark oak. This would be the minimum size board we would recommend.
Based on a Gothic wedding theme, the pieces are as follows:
King – The Groom
Queen – The Bride
Bishop – The General
Knight – The Pirate
Rock – The Rock & Roll Icon
Pawn – The Best Man and The Maid of Honour
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.
Each piece has been hand coloured with accents of red and purple, that alternate across each half. The colours for these pieces are an aged cream for the light and dark oak for the dark.
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!
