Chess Pieces

Themed Chess Pieces, Sets of Pieces Alone

This category brings together sets of chess pieces alone, without a board, where each side embodies an era or a story: Napoleon, knights, Roman legions, pharaohs, gods of Olympus. These are figures in pewter, brass, zamak or resin, hand-painted, sometimes carved in wood. The king usually measures between 7.5 and 12 cm.

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.

Who 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.

Explore our other piece styles

For a more classic style, discover our Staunton pieces in fine wood. For carved wooden figures, our alpine pieces from Val Gardena offer unique carving work. And for the prestige of metal, our bronze pieces and gilded brass are incomparable.
