King Arthur Chess Set: Gold & Silver Figures with Glass Board
Legends Come to Life on the Board
Each piece is a small work of art that draws you into the story:
- King and Queen: Majestic figures of Arthur and Guinevere (or their adversaries) in full armour with royal insignia.
- Bishop: A powerful wizard (Merlin), influencing the course of the battle with his staff and magic.
- Knight and Pawn: Traditional horses are replaced here by mythical dragons perched on spheres. Dragons are inextricably linked to Arthurian legends, particularly the prophecy of the red and white dragon.
- Rook: A detailed castle turret, which also serves as the supporting leg for the chessboard at the corners.
Material and Craftsmanship
The figures are made of polyresin. This is a special resin that, once hardened, acquires the hardness of stone but allows for capturing the finest details, from dragon scales to the folds of cloaks. The subsequent hand-painting in a combination of metallic tones and coloured accents (blue vs. red) makes it easy to distinguish sides during play and gives the set a luxurious look.

Care Instructions
This set is both a game and a decoration. To ensure it lasts as long as possible:
- Handling: The glass board is fragile; always grip it firmly when moving and do not place heavy objects on it.
- Cleaning: Remove dust from the figures with a soft brush. The glass can be polished with standard cleaners, but avoid chemical contact with the painted figures.
- Safety: Polyresin is durable, but dropping a figure on a hard floor could cause fine parts (sword, staff) to break off.
Take your seat at the table, take command, and rewrite the history of Avalon in one of the world's oldest strategy games.
