This Battle of Waterloo chess set is beautifully decorated and meticulously hand-painted, with an 8.3 cm king and a 40 x 40 cm walnut and maple chess board. The refined details and vivid colours make this set a true work of art while remaining perfectly functional for playing chess.
The pieces represent Napoleon and Wellington, each accompanied by his respective queen (Joséphine and Catherine).

Each piece is finely crafted and well balanced for optimal playing enjoyment.
This set makes an exceptional gift for history and chess enthusiasts and can be used with or without the included chess board. It combines craftsmanship, historical design and functionality, offering both a unique decorative piece and a practical, durable chess set, perfect for playing, collecting or displaying.
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.

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.
