King Arthur Chess Set with Glass Board

King Arthur Chess Set with Glass Board

Figures That Tell a Story

Each piece is precisely sculpted and hand-painted to capture the mythical atmosphere of ancient Britain. These are not abstract shapes, but specific characters:

• King and Queen: Arthur and Guinevere seated on their thrones, symbolizing wisdom and rule.
• Bishop: Depicted here as the powerful wizard Merlin with a staff and dragon wings, representing magic and foresight.
• Knight: A dynamic statuette of a knight battling a dragon, referencing heroic deeds and chivalry.
• Rook: A castle tower wrapped in a dragon, a symbol of an impregnable fortress.
• Pawn: A detailed statuette of a small dragon or gargoyle, guardian of the front lines.

Material and Craftsmanship

The figures and the supporting pillars of the chessboard are made of polyresin. This is a special resin that, once hardened, acquires the properties of stone or ceramic but is more durable. This material allows for capturing even the finest details of armour, dragon scales, and facial expressions, which are then highlighted by hand-painting with a patinated metal effect.

Care Instructions

To ensure this masterpiece lasts for generations, treat it with respect:

• Placement: Although the glass board is tempered, it is still fragile. Place the set on a stable, flat surface where there is no risk of tipping over.
• Cleaning: Remove dust from the figures with a soft brush. You can polish the glass plate with a standard glass cleaner, but be careful not to let chemicals get onto the painted figures.
• Handling: Polyresin figures are hard, but dropping them on a hard floor (tiles) may cause fine details (swords, wings) to break off.
