Your Assurance of Quality from CheckmateChessSets

At CheckmateChessSets, we are only prepared to offer to our customers high quality theme chess pieces. Each of the decorated theme chess pieces featured in this section of the website is derived from an original sculpture painstakingly crafted by a highly skilled craftsman. This original is then used to produce a master mould from which further moulds are created. It is into these moulds that a mixture of heavy ground or crushed stone which takes the form of a fine white powder (in th case of Studio Anne Carlton) or crushed marble (in the case of Mascott) and a resin mixture is poured. Once the sculpture has set it is then removed from the mould. It is then hand painted to an extremely high standard. These beautifully decorated theme chess pieces which are yours to own are the result of this process, a process which creates a product of both natural durability and, crucially, also of the right medium to create the most intricate and exquisite detailed sculptures. But we don't want you just to take our word for it - thanks to our unique collection of high resolution close-up images you can see for yourself...right now!

Battle Themes

Each of our decorative chess sets which has a 'battle' theme is complemented with a well-researched certificate detailing pertinent historical facts relating to the particular battle - some even include biographies of the main characters. All subjects are painstakingly researched to ensure historical accuracy particularly where original likenesses and uniforms are involved. You'll love these high quality chess sets. Click here to view our Battle Themes
