The minimum size board square for this chess set is 2" (5cm) squared board and would be our recommendation. Shown on our 2 3/8" (6cm) squared board, in dark brown and cream.
The set is cast in a hard and durable stone casting powder, giving each piece beautiful detail and definition. The hand colouring and finishing, using a method passed down through the family, ensures durablity and quality; futher enhancing the details. Each piece is completed with a felt base 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 mahogany for the light and a black colour for the dark.
Each piece is hand coloured and takes the colours and finish differently, so please beware that there will be slight 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!
