Experience one of history’s most pivotal conflicts with the World War II Theme Chess Set, featuring intricately sculpted and hand-painted polystone pieces that bring the battle to life. The kings are represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler, while queens and bishops depict top American and German generals. Knights are tanks, rooks are capital buildings, and pawns are infantry soldiers, all meticulously detailed to capture the essence of each character and unit. The 3.25-inch kings and finely crafted pieces make this set a striking centerpiece for both play and display.
The set is paired with our Green Ash Burl & Erable Deluxe Chess Board, handcrafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain. The green-stained ash burl showcases rich variations in color that beautifully highlight the wood grain, while the high-gloss polyurethane finish provides a glass-like elegance. A triple inlay pinstripe (white-black-white) around the playing area, an extra-wide frame, and 1.75-inch squares on the 17.5" x 17.5" x 0.5" board create a sophisticated backdrop for the hand-painted theme pieces. Felt pads on the bottom protect surfaces while displaying the set beautifully.
Combining historical accuracy, artistry, and playability, this World War II chess set is perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a dramatic, display-worthy centerpiece that brings the story of WWII to life on the chessboard.
