“Romans” Storage Box Chess Set: Hand-Painted Metal Pieces & Black Faux Leather Chess Board with Storage Compartment (28 x 28 cm)

The Perfect Blend of Design and Practicality

Never lose a piece again and protect your chess set in style. This chess storage box solves the storage problem thanks to its ingenious design: the faux leather playing board serves as the lid to a compartmentalised case. This set is both a decorative piece and a ready-to-play game.

A Black Faux Leather Chess Board with Built-in Storage

The 28 x 28 cm chess board stands out for its meticulous finish and practical design:

• 2-in-1 Board and Box: Beneath the playing surface lies a storage space lined with soft beige felt. Each piece (the 32 chessmen, as well as the draughts/backgammon counters included depending on the version) has its own dedicated slot, ensuring optimal protection against knocks and dust.
• Faux Leather Aesthetics: The box is finished in black faux leather. The frame features raised braided borders and is edged with classic gold trim.
• Contrasting Playing Surface: The board (2.8 cm squares) alternates deep black and brushed gold tones, offering a perfect contrast with the metal pieces.

Hand-Painted Metal Pieces: The Grandeur of Rome

The 32 pieces transport you to the heart of the Roman Empire:

• Hand-Painted Finish: The pieces are hand-painted, pitting a Silver and Gold army against a Bronze and Gold army, both enhanced with the distinctive red crests of Roman soldiers. A certificate of authenticity is provided for the chess pieces.
• Architectural Detail: Admire the craftsmanship on the Rooks, faithful reproductions of the Colosseum of Rome, or on the Pawns depicting helmeted centurions.
• Stability and Comfort: With a King height of 5 cm and a 1.9 cm base fitted with a felt protector, the pieces offer a satisfyingly weighty, luxurious feel, whilst gliding smoothly over the faux leather.
