16" Black and Coral Egyptian Style Marble Chess Set

Marble chess pieces are a classic alternative to the traditional wood Staunton pieces. This special edition eschews the standard staunton design for a figurine marble chess set. Each piece is individually carved with rustic charm and character, and each stone piece has a felt bottom to help protect the playing surface.

These hand-made marble chess boards are ideal for chess enthusiasts that want something truly unique. The style is traditional with two marble colors, and each board is hand carved, so no two sets are ever exactly alike. There are a lot of variations in the stone and often have a weathered, rustic appearence. Because of the variation, these boards are not best for perfectionists. These marble sets should be left out on display when possible!

Black Marble ranges from pure black to gray and often will have some variation in color. Coral is an exotic yellow color that has a great deal of complexity due to the shells and fossils within. The intense variation makes blemishes much less apparent.

Marble is great for a display piece making a unique artistic statement around the home. Please note marble is also quite fragile, so while you certainly can play with the pieces, you should do so with care.

This is a full set of 32 chess pieces with board. Made in Pakistan
