Immerse yourself in the world of opulence with our Large White and Black Marble Chess Set – a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, traditional artistry, and refined elegance. This chess set transcends ordinary gameplay, providing an unparalleled experience marked by the artful fusion of hand-carved marble pieces and the time-honored Staunton style.

Every square of this chess set is a unique work of art, carefully carved from hand-laid white and black marble. The intricate placement of these stones ensures that no two squares are alike, contributing to the individuality of each board. Handmade in the traditional Staunton chess style, the chess pieces exude sophistication and elegance. The meticulous craftsmanship extends to the padded, felt bottoms of both the chess pieces and the board, ensuring a scratch-free and luxurious playing experience.

The color palette chosen for this set elevates it to a new level of authenticity and beauty. The royal black marble, with its dark, natural hues complemented by veins of quartz and calcite, forms a stunning design for the black squares. The bianco venato white marble, adorned with light grey patterning, creates an intricate surface for the white squares. These carefully selected colors pay homage to the original Staunton-style chess sets from London.

Specification:

The seamless continuation of the white marble into the border enhances the overall aesthetic coherence of the board. The chess pieces, with their sophisticated yet elegant design, bring a timeless sense of refinement to the game. The 16" wide board provides ample space for strategic moves, while the king, standing at 3.5" tall, commands attention and respect.

For an added touch of grandeur, the Large White and Black Marble Chess Set comes with a blue velvet case. Individually holding each piece, the case not only ensures secure storage but also enhances the regal presentation of this magnificent set.

Chess Origins:

Delve into the rich history of chess, originating in northwest India in the 6th century as chaturaṅga, translating to four divisions. These divisions evolved into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, symbolizing infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, respectively. The game journeyed along the Silk Road, reaching Western Europe and Russia by the 9th century. By 1000, chess had spread throughout Muslim Iberia and Latin Europe. Adopted by the Muslim world after the conquest of Persia, it underwent modifications, with the term "checkmate" deriving from the Persian shāh māt, meaning "the king is helpless." Around 1200, the rules of shatranj began to be modified in southern Europe, and by 1475, several major changes shaped the game into its present form.
