This unique and color theme chess set is based on the Knights Templar. The Templars were a military order of the Catholic Church and were recognized by their white mantles with a large red cross in the front. The Templar knights were the most skilled fighters in Europe and were heavily involved in the crusades. These beautiful pieces are made from solid polystone, an extremely hard material made from crushed stone and resin. The level of detail and the precise hand painting is remarkable. The king is 3.25” tall and we recommend a chess board with 1.75” squares.

Crusades Chess Pieces
Received these chess pieces (Crusader) in good shape and wanted the say thank you for offering this set. I collect chess sets and have looked for one like this for years. I am very happy with this set. I feel the set should be called Templer because the pieces look like Templer knights. Chess uses words like Castle ( often called Rooks) and Knights and this set depicts them very well. Thanks again.
