This chess set on the theme of the Greco-Roman period is a truly exceptional piece, designed for enthusiasts of history and strategy.
With its dimensions of 44 x 44 cm and its chess pieces in metal with green and gold finishes, it offers an impressive visual effect. The chess board, with its metal board, available in two colours, green or brown, gives this set a timeless elegance, whilst the laminated wood box, fitted with built-in storage, carefully protects each piece as well as the board.
Inspired by the local and international wars of antiquity, this chess set faithfully depicts the key figures of that era. The King and Queen embody authority and leadership, whilst the Knights and Pawns reflect the ferocity of battle. The Bishops show intense concentration, anticipating the enemy’s moves, and the Rooks take the form of Greco-Roman pillars, emblematic symbols of the architecture of that period.

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. Conversely, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
