The chess pieces are designed around the theme of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, a significant milestone in the colonisation of the Natal region.
The pieces are wonderfully representative of the era, each one meticulously detailed, both in facial expressions and in the colours used.
They come with a black faux leather chess board, made in Italy and entirely handcrafted. Beneath the playing surface, it features a storage compartment for each individual piece.
A beautiful historical chess set that will particularly delight history enthusiasts.

Matching Guide
Choosing the right board size
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.
Traditional wooden chess sets

| 10,1 cm | 4,1 à 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 cm |
| 3 à 3,4 cm | 4,3 à 5 cm |

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.
