This superb little chess set depicts the legend of King Arthur and the
knights of the round table. King Arthur is a legendary character from the
late fifth century and one who’s story has been formed from myths and
literary invention. Legend has it that Arthur had a round table, the
significance of this being that there could be no head of the table, instead
each person sat at the table would remain equal. He would sit with his
Knights planning battles and strategy. This famous legend is brought to life
through the fine detail and highly skilled hand painting of the chessmen.
The set comprises the full set of pieces and a suitably sized chess board
and is superb value for money.
This fine hand painted chess set is another great example from Studio Anne
Carlton and the quality and finish of the pieces is what you would expect
from this established brand of chess set manufacturer. Superb value for
money and great quality.
