Knight's Tournament Chess Pieces

Knight's Tournament Chess Pieces – Medieval Clash of Orders

Detailed Craftsmanship of Warriors

The figures are made of hard synthetic resin (polyresin), which is ideal for capturing the fine details of armour and drapery. Each piece is hand-painted, giving them a unique touch.

• The White Side (Templars): Knights and the King are clad in white surcoats with a prominent red cross, symbolising purity and sacrifice. Pawns kneel with sword and shield, ready for defence.
• The Red Side (Rival Order): The opposing side wears deep red attire with silver or white crosses, creating a beautiful visual contrast on the board.
• The Rooks: Depicted as massive dark castle towers guarding the army's flanks.

Please note: The package contains a set of 32 pieces stored in a gift box. The chessboard is not included, but you can purchase one separately from our store.

Historical Insight: Tournament as a School of War

Knightly tournaments were not just entertainment for the nobility. In the Middle Ages, they served as crucial training for actual warfare. Knights honed their skills in horsemanship and weaponry here. This chess set evokes the atmosphere of members of different knightly orders (e.g., Templars and Hospitallers) meeting on one field. Although they often fought for the same cause, they frequently competed for prestige and power. Now, this duel of honour and tactics is in your hands.

Care Instructions

• Cleaning: Remove dust with a fine brush or a dry cloth. Do not use water or chemical cleaners to avoid damaging the hand-painted finish.
• Handling: Polyresin is a hard and durable material, but delicate parts may break if dropped on a hard floor (tiles, concrete). Play with care.
