Egyptian Chess Set – Antique Copper and Gold Metallic Effect – Chess pieces only

Description

Beautiful handmade chess sets, chess boards and chess pieces crafted for you here in Ireland. With over 15 years experience and an honors degree in fine art your disposal. This listing is for a beautiful custom made ornate hand crafted, made to order collection of Egyptian themed Chessmen (Chess pieces only). The pieces are lovingly decorated to create a metallic aged effect in keeping with the character of the set, and which represents many hours of dedicated work. This set is a fine example of high quality sculpting alongside addressing the practical aspects of creating a chess piece that is a joy to play with. I really love this set and think that the copper and gold paintwork really sets it off and adds to it’s character. The pieces are made from reconstructed stone and come with felt bases attached as standard. The tallest piece (The King) is 9.5 cm s tall with a 3.5 cm base making this a very substantial collection of chessmen. As well as enjoying the aesthetic quality of playing chess with such a beautiful chess set, the act of playing chess itself has been linked to a variety of health benefits and is said to help develop perspective, improve memory, increase intelligence, deepen focus, elevate creativity, boost planning skills, increase self-awareness, protect against dementia, help ADHD and reduce panic attack symptoms. This listing is for the chess pieces only. Board not included
