Maghreb Brass And Nickel Chess Pieces 3 Inches

Product Description

A complete departure from the classic wooden chess piece option. These pieces are designed & fabricated by professional chess artisans from Italy. They are of a solid Brass & Nickel plated Brass construction with beautifully detailed decorative embossing. The pieces are a good weight & feel nicely balanced in the player's hand & are cast & hand finished. The design is based on the classic Staunton concept, however the result is something more allegorical & detailed. The pieces are fitted with red felt pads on their underside to protect the playing surface & are presented in a special cardboard presentation box, making them the perfect gift. Although these pieces have a small King's base diameter of about an inch, their slim, tall outline warrants a larger square size than usual. We recommend chess boards with square sizes of 1.6 inches or above, 17 or 18 inches in length.
