They are aimed at collectors and history enthusiasts. To choose the right size, measure the square on your chessboard: the king’s base should measure around 0.75 times that square. Pair them with a plain wooden board. Also see our Napoleon chess sets and our hand-painted complete chess sets.
The Nobility of Pewter
Solid pewter chess pieces: a classic metal with an unrivalled feel
Pewter is one of the oldest metals used to make chess pieces. Its silver-grey tone, naturally pleasing weight and ability to capture the finest details make it a material of choice for discerning players and collectors. Our pewter chess pieces are often paired with brass pieces to form a complete set with a striking contrast: silver-grey pewter for the Black pieces, golden brass for the White pieces.
Expert tip: Pewter does not rust and only tarnishes very slowly. A simple soft cloth is enough for everyday care. To restore its shine, a pewter polishing paste once a year will bring the pieces back to their original brilliance.
Other metals available
Explore our golden brass pieces for a warm glow, our bronze pieces for the ultimate prestige, or our hybrid metal and wood pieces, which combine the best of both worlds. For a complete chess set, visit our complete chess sets.
