This unique chess set, inspired by the ancient art of the Cycladic civilisation, is a true masterpiece that combines history with contemporary design.

With solid brass pieces in shades of blue and brown, this set evokes the timeless elegance of the marble sculptures of Europe’s oldest civilisation, which flourished in the Aegean Sea during the 3rd millennium BC. The king height is 8.5 cm.

The standing chess board, with its metal top, is available in three colours: blue, brown or turquoise. It has a comfortable size of 44 x 44 cm.

The set includes a storage box in which to keep all the chess pieces as well as the board.

The minimalist geometric shapes of the pieces, inspired by Cycladic statues, give this set a modern, refined aesthetic, while paying tribute to ancient art. Lovers of art, history and strategy games will appreciate the beauty and finesse of this set, which works equally well as a decorative piece or a functional object.

Size Guide (Pieces & Boards)

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

King height	King base diameter	Square size
7,3 à 7,6 cm	3,8 cm	4,7 à 5,1 cm
9,5 à 9,8 cm	4,4 cm	5,7 à 6 cm
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
3,5 à 3,9 cm	4,8 à 6,2 cm
4 à 4,5 cm	6 à 8 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.
