Description
The 15 inch Chess Set Antique Walnut is the highlight of our luxury chess sets category. Quality, large, elegant and beautifully made of walnut. The design is based on the familiar Antique lines but presents a more classical, columnar look. This is most noticeable in the shape of the long shanks and the angular lines of the bishop’s mitre. Each chess piece made from brass is well balanced, weighted and polished to a very high sheen without the use of artificial or synthetic products.
The attention to detail is sublime – sub millimetre sharp lines and inlays are supported by grain matched playing squares and a robust transparent finish lacquered surface. The rich browns, reds and yellows of the walnut really complement the brass chessmen creating very traditional chess set with some subtle hints from classical architecture.
