This colorful chess set includes the Templar Knights hand painted theme chess pieces matched with our Red and Erable chess board. 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. Our Red and Erable chess board makes a stunning backdrop for the red and white pieces.
Our Red and Erable High Gloss Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the largest manufacturer of high-quality chess boards in the world. This is an inlaid chess board made from red stained poplar and erable veneer sealed with a high gloss polyurethane finish to protect and enhance the beauty of the wood. The precision of the inlay work is remarkable. The squares are 1.75" and the overall size of the board is 17.5" and .5" thick. A wide black inlay delimiter accentuates the squares from the extra-wide frame adding elegance to the design. The bottom of the board has felt pads to protect whatever surface it sits on. The story and history behind this chess set will add enjoyment to every game you play and look beautiful displayed in your home.
