Napoleon III Chess Set with Faux Leather Board & Hand-Painted Solid Metal Chess Pieces

The chess pieces are carved, chiselled and hand-painted in solid metal, of Italian design, showcasing a wealth of artistic craftsmanship.

The imperial symbolism is skilfully portrayed, as you can see in the photographs: the rook is represented by the eagle, a symbol of military victories. The colours chosen here are, of course, blue and red, and every piece bears the imperial Napoleonic “N”!

The chessboard that accompanies the pieces is made of faux leather, dyed blue, and includes a red felt-lined storage box built into the chessboard itself.

As with all products made by this craftsman, the faux leather chess boards with storage box benefit from careful finishing and a choice of select materials, so you won’t be disappointed by the visual result.

If you choose to give this chess set as a gift, you can select the “engraved plaque” option and add a personalised message to make your gift unique!
