The black and white chess pieces are handcrafted from solid brass and wood. The brass sections have been finished with gold and silver plating. They have a king height of 9 cm.
They come with a stunning octagonal chess board in black lacquered wood with a black and white marble playing surface. The chess board includes a storage drawer to hold the full set of chess pieces. It measures 47 x 47 x 7 cm.
A luxury black and white marble chess set made from fine materials, crafted by an Italian artisan who specialises in chess set making and takes great care over his products, selecting only quality materials.
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.
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.
