A beautifully crafted black and white chess set made from Volterra alabaster, created in Italy by skilled marble craftsmen.
This luxury chess set features a playing board made entirely from alabaster, edge to edge, which has been brilliantly sanded.

The result is a simply stunning marble chess set, a delight to admire and, above all, a pleasure to play with.
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.

Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets

|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 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.
