Note globale du site
The chess pieces are crafted on a theme highly sought after by chess players: Napoleon.
Entirely carved and polished by hand, they are generously sized, with a king height of 10 cm, and boast high-quality finishes. Notice the detail on the knight or the poses of the figures. They are perfectly balanced and a true pleasure to handle during your games.
The chess board accompanying these magnificent Napoleon-themed figures is made of wood with a brass-effect top and features a storage compartment beneath the lift-up playing surface.
A chess set and chess board combination with storage, of great quality and design, created on a historical theme by a craftsman we have worked with for years, and which could make a wonderful gift you can personalise by choosing the engraving plate option to add your own message on the chess board.
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.

|---|---|
| 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.
