The knight is beautifully sculpted with a one-of-a-kind armor plated body and realistic features including ears, eyes, nose, and mouth.

The other pieces are equally well crafted with wood turning that is is extraordinary.

    Colombian Knight Staunton Chess Set

    Posted by Justin Russell on 26th Mar 2021

    I can say without a doubt and without exaggeration that this is the finest chess set I now own. All of the pieces are exquisite with extraordinary craftmanship. I think that the Knights on this chess set are the finest I have ever seen with unparalleled detail. From the mane to the eyes. The pieces are large of course. The King stands at 4.6". So if you don't have a board of with squares of at least 2.375", you'll need to get one. I would absolutely recommend the Colombian Knight Staunton Chess Set to any prospective buyer looking for quality hand made chess pieces. Based solely on value I think you'd be hard pressed to find a sets of similar quality at the same price. I am beyond overjoyed with the pieces and at first, had the inclination to put these pieces back in the case I bought for them. But having played a few games with my new chess pieces and after having them out and displayed on my chess board, I don't think I can go back! These pieces deserve to be placed out, displayed and most of all, played with! A truly heirloom quality chess set that comes highly recommended by this buyer!
