Knights in Armour Chess Pieces

Knights in Armour Chess Pieces – Medieval Battle Set 8.5 cm

Detailed Armies

The figures are made of hard synthetic resin (polyresin). This material is ideal for modeling because it is durable, has a pleasant weight, and can hold even the finest details, such as rivets on armour, helmet visors, or the folds of cloaks.

• Design: The figures represent knights in full plate armour, typical of the 15th century. The King and Queen stand in majestic poses, Bishops and Knights are ready for battle, and Pawns kneel with swords, prepared to defend their sovereign.
• Packaging: The set comes in a secure gift box with a moulded insert that protects each figure individually. We recommend keeping this box for permanent storage.
• Please note: The package contains only the set of 32 pieces. The chessboard is not included, but you can choose the perfect one from our range (we recommend square sizes of at least 4–5 cm).

Historical Context: The Age of Iron Men

The plate armour worn by these figures was the pinnacle of protective clothing in the Middle Ages. It evolved from chainmail and, in the 14th and 15th centuries, turned knights into "walking tanks." Well-made armour could withstand sword strikes and crossbow bolts. Knights were not just warriors, but also bearers of a code of honour and chivalry. This chess set is a tribute to these elite fighters of European history.

Care Instructions

• Cleaning: Simply dust the figures with a soft brush or a dry cloth. Do not use water or chemicals to avoid damaging the hand-painted finish.
• Handling: Although polyresin is hard, fine parts (swords, plumes) can break if dropped on a hard floor (tiles, concrete). Handle with care.
