This is a new solid brass chess set design featuring a 3 3/4" King with distinctive knights. These solid brass pieces are heavy! The black pieces are anodized not lacquered so their dark color will remain after years of use.
Here's a picture showing the pieces lined up with the pieces mixed:
The King's base is felt padded and measures 1 1/8". However, with the rounded base design this swells to 1 3/8". A perfect chessboard for brass sets of this size is our maple and golden rosewood board with 1 3/4" squares. This elegant round edged board measures 17" x 17".
These pieces should never require polishing as they are specially coated to prevent tarnishing.
The chessboard is made of solid wood and made available as an option.
In addition for storage we recommend our dual compartment pure leather chest which measures 10" x 7" x 4" to store these fine pieces.
