Each piece
HAND-CAST IN SOLID BRONZE
The contrasting finish of the polished light side against the opposing dark, patinated chessmen creates a striking collection of pieces.
A bronze finish is used for the lighter pieces and a patination oil is used to create the darker pieces. The reassuring weight of each piece makes this an extremely tactile chess set and the felt bases lend a softness of touch and beautiful finish to each piece.
Each of our sets come in a luxury presentation box, which contains your set, playing board as well as a certificate of authenticity.
The pieces are housed in precision cut foam to ensure they travel well and be stored safely between games.
Chicago - A city famed for its unique mix of architectural styles provides the setting for this edition, featuring a selection of iconic 20th Century buildings.
The pawn is played by the famous Chicago Bungalow, the circular form of Marina City makes for a mighty Rook, The Crain Communications Building steps in as the Knight, whilst Two Prudential Plaza plays the perfect Bishop. Willis Tower and the John Hancock Centre take centre stage on the board as the King and Queen.
