This stunning hand-painted theme chess set is one of our largest and most impressive, featuring a towering 7" king—the largest chess pieces we offer. Inspired by the dramatic clashes between Christian Europe and the Arab world during the Crusades, this set captures the historic struggle for the Holy Land, which spanned nine major campaigns from the 11th to the 13th centuries.
Each piece is crafted from solid polystone, a stone-like composite known for its strength, weight, and ability to hold fine detail. Skilled artisans hand-paint every figure with remarkable precision, highlighting intricate costumes, armor, and historical character traits. The result is a visually striking and museum-quality display set.
To help you appreciate its impressive scale, we’ve included a comparison photo showing this set beside the two smaller Crusades versions we also carry.
