Relive one of the most dramatic conflicts of the 19th century with the British vs. Zulu Theme Chess Set, inspired by the historic battles in southern Africa during the 1800s. The set captures the iconic clash between British forces and Zulu warriors, including figures reminiscent of the famous Battle of Rorke’s Drift, depicted in the classic 1964 film Zulu.
Each piece is intricately sculpted from durable polystone and hand-painted in vivid, historically inspired colors, capturing the uniforms, weapons, and spirit of both sides with remarkable detail. The 3.25-inch king leads finely detailed soldiers and warriors across the board, making every game both visually stunning and historically engaging.
The set is paired with our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board, handcrafted from premium wood veneers and finished in a semi-gloss polyurethane with a bold black delimiter frame. The combination of richly detailed theme pieces and a beautifully crafted board makes this chess set perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a conversation-worthy display piece.
