Relive one of history’s most dramatic periods with the Crusades Theme Chess Set, depicting the epic conflicts between European Christian and Muslim armies for control of the Holy Land. Each piece is crafted from durable polystone and hand-painted with exquisite detail, capturing the armor, attire, and spirit of knights, soldiers, and leaders from both sides. The 3.25-inch kings and intricately sculpted figures make each game both visually captivating and historically immersive.
The set is paired with our Gray Ash Burl & Erable Deluxe Chess Board, handcrafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain. The gray-stained ash burl highlights natural variations in the wood grain, while a triple inlay pinstripe (white-black-white) and an extra-wide frame create an elegant border around the playing area. The board is sealed with high-gloss polyurethane, giving a glass-like finish, and features 1.75-inch squares with overall dimensions of 17.5" x 17.5" x 0.5", providing a sophisticated and durable backdrop for the hand-painted theme pieces.
Combining historical authenticity, artistry, and playability, this Crusades chess set is perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a striking, display-worthy centerpiece for home or office.
