The chess pieces are made of resin, hand-painted, and depict the most important figures of medieval times.
Note the careful work on the faces, carved in fine detail, the king’s deep gaze or the delicacy of the queen’s features. The chosen colours further enhance these beautiful pieces.
The chess board, made in Italy, is crafted by hand from maple and walnut wood and includes, beneath its removable top, an individual storage compartment for the chess pieces.
A superior-quality set, medium-sized, on a medieval theme.
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned
to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide
is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.

A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered.
À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole.
The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
