Lanzichenecchi III Set – Wooden Chess Board and Metal Chess Set

The figures represent landsknechts, mercenaries renowned in the early sixteenth century for their effectiveness and ferocity.

The chess pieces are made of metal, entirely hand-carved and hand-polished; they are well-weighted and protected at their base by a felt lining.

The chess board that accompanies these pieces is large, 48 x 48 cm, in black and gold faux leather, and includes an individual felt-lined storage compartment beneath the playing surface for each piece, very practical for storing the chess pieces and making the board easier to carry from place to place.

A beautifully crafted historical chess set: the black colour of the board sets off the beauty of the metal chess pieces. Made by a craftsman skilled in creating fine drawing-room chess sets, only quality materials have been selected, so you can be assured of a set that will last you for decades to come.

If you choose to give this set as a gift, you can select the “plaque engraving” option and have it engraved with whatever you wish, to make your gift unique.
