Pieces that Tell History
Napoleon, Romans, the Middle Ages, Mythology: every game is an epic
Our historical and fantasy themed chess sets are made in Italy with particular care given to the finish. Each piece is sculpted in high-end resin of the crushed-stone type, then hand-painted with exceptional precision. Far from the classic Staunton style, these historical chess sets turn every game into a living re-enactment.
Our themed worlds
Medieval
Knights in armour, feudal lords, castles. The Middle Ages in all their splendour: Camelot and King Arthur, the Crusades, the Wars of the Roses.
DiscoverAntiquity
Roman legions, Greek hoplites, Egyptian pharaohs. Ancient armies face each other on the board, with striking realism in the armour and weapons.
DiscoverNapoleon & Empire
The Battle of Waterloo, the Grande Armée, the marshals of Empire. Napoleon as king, Joséphine as queen: iconic sets for enthusiasts of French history.
DiscoverFantasy & Mythology
The Lord of the Rings, dragons and knights, gods of Olympus. Imaginary pieces for a chess set that stands out from the ordinary and fascinates collectors.
DiscoverWho are these sets for?
🎁 The perfect gift
A themed chess set is the ideal gift for a history enthusiast, a collector or a player who wants something unique. The "wow" is guaranteed when the box is opened: the painted figures impress at first glance.
🎨 The collector
Each theme is a collection in itself. Some enthusiasts own several themed sets which they display on shelves or in cabinets. The quality of the sculpting and painting makes them decorative objects in their own right.
♞ The original player
These pieces are fully playable: size, weight and base suited for comfortable play. The largest pieces (king 90-100 mm) offer a majestic presence on a 45-50 cm board.
🏠 Decoration
Placed on a coffee table or side table, a historical chess set with its painted figures becomes a decorative piece that catches the eye and sparks conversation. An object both to play with and to admire.
Expert tip: Our themed sets come with a matching chessboard (included in the price). To protect the delicate paintwork on the figures, store them in their original box or in a felt-lined chessboard with built-in storage.
