The Colombian Knight Set of Chessmen
The Colombian Knight Set of Chessmen

This is a new chess set design which has just become available to us in both bud rosewood and ebony. The King is 4 1/2" tall (to tip of finial) and weighs a whopping 4.6 ounces! It has a base diameter of 1 3/4" with a choice of either leather or green felt pads. The picture of the white pieces above shows the excellent proportioning of all the pieces.

This Knight is possibly the most facially accurate of any we have seen. Look closely at the eyes, mane, jaw bone and the attention to detail in the teeth, occipital crest, shapely ears and nostrils! This is a racehorse ready for action!


 The Colombian Knight Chess Set: Pictures show the excellent carving of the knight and the mouse-over picture shows the detail in the King and Queen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The carving of the knight is quite extraordinary. The design of the other pieces are also highly commended, look at the crafting of the King and Queen, the bishop's delicately cut mitre, and the multiple rings around each of the piece bodies.

Here's a picture of all the bud rosewood pieces:

Hello Steve, I did indeed receive the chess set, board and case on Monday 24 sept 2007 at 8.30 am and it must be a record, as it was only dispatched on Friday 21 sept 2007. I am absolutely amazed at the speed of delivery and it is indeed something to be proud of, and what is more amazing is my wonderful chess set and board. Which now sits pride of place on my table in the living room, not just something to play, but to admire, also something you could pass down through the family. If I could give 6 stars I would. Just like to thank you once again for a wonderful chess set and the service you have given me.

Beautiful set--gorgeous knight,heavily weighted, and much more substantial then the shown in the pictures. I had some reservation about ordering the set but once I opened box, I was totally blown away. Great set!
