Many thanks - our replacement knight arrived on Thursday. We are so impressed with your service. We have made a donation to Refugee and Migrant Network Sutton - a brilliant local charity making people welcome in our community.

We ordered a travel chess set for our Grandson's birthday present to be sent direct to him. We were kept informed of delivery progress and it arrived - as hoped - the day before his birthday. Apparently it is as good as it appeared on the website and he is absolutely thrilled with it.

Excellent service received, and speedy delivery. The set looks far better in person than the pictures on the website. Thank you.

Product Description

Shakespearean take on a classic design.
Beautifully crafted in Italy.
2.75" (70 mm) king.
Weighted for perfect balance.
Ideal for a 17 or 18" board (43 - 45 cm).

The Verona Series Chess Pieces adhere to the traditional Staunton design, nuanced romantically with Shakespearean motifs. The bishop, for example, holds the classic form but has been turned in a way that evokes the tulip shape of the Renaissance. The king and queen, too, are heavily set with fortress-like, cylindrical tops common of the era. In Italy where the metal pieces are hand turned, the craftsmen have taken great care in detailing the knight’s features, bringing the piece to life with a cropped mane, muscular head and thick bridle. The lighter pieces within the Verona Series have been hand turned from solid brass, while the darker set is covered in a layer of rustic nickel.
The king’s base diameter is 0.9 inches (23 mm) and so fits neatly on boards with playing squares of 1.6 inches (41 mm) and above. The ideal board for the Verona Series Metal Chess Pieces would be around 17 to 18 inches (43 - 45 cm) square.
