A theme chess set based on the classic book Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.
This is the story of a gentle knight, a man seeking truth and justice who goes beautifully mad in the process. Cervantes sets free our imagination and discovers for us a new quality about the human spirit.
The characters represented in this chess set are:
King/Don Quixote, Queen/Rozanthe, Bishop/Torquemada, Knight/Cross-legged horse, Rook/Pancho, Pawn/Whippet
This chess set is an end of the range set and will soon be phased out.

A special note about all of our Limited Edition Chess Sets:
It is most relevant to point out that our Limited Edition products are not made using a mass-production technique utilizing inexpensive latex molds as many others are. Every one of our pieces have been made individually by the hand of our sculptor using a different process [more consistent with pewter sets]. This process shows up much more intricate carving detail and imperfections where they exist! Latex molds have a tendency of 'smoothing out' some of the detail in the carving, particularly because they can swell slightly in the curing process. For example, even a thumbprint would show up using our technique and we believe capturing the entire carving art is so very important!This detail difference may not be too obvious from a web page comparison. As a result there are slight differences between the sets of the same type in terms of coloration and detail.
As is customary with theme chess sets, the board is sold separately.
