Themed Chess Sets
Themed chess sets come in so many varieties that it would be difficult to list them all. If you have a favorite hobby or interest, especially about a historical topic, chances are there is a set for you.
Why a Themed Set?
Chess players like themed sets because they add a layer of fantasy and imagination to the game. In fact, themed sets are popular collectibles among people who don’t even play chess. These sets offer another way to embrace a beloved theme. Themed sets are particularly well crafted with amazing detail. In all cases, they make great conversation pieces!
The Civil War
Enjoy the hand-painted, exquisite detail of a Civil War chess set. The pieces show details down to a uniform’s jacket buttons on leaders and soldiers from the North and South. Truly an exquisite way to complement the library of any Civil War enthusiast.
Greek Mythology
Journey to the heights of Mount Olympus to meet Zeus, the king of the gods. This mega-star of Greek Mythology stands firm as king in this set. Enjoy each fold of the gods’ robes and each detail of ancient Greek columns in this lovely tribute to Greek Mythology.
Middle-Earth
The most memorable Middle-Earth characters from Tolkien’s literary masterwork are exquisite, miniature sculptures moving above a map of Middle-Earth, which is mounted just below the playing surface. Along with the hero, Frodo, and his friends, come face to face with the ultimate, evil foe as you enjoy this amazing Lord of the Rings set.
Medieval Sets
Medieval themed pieces are a mini-lesson in medieval lore and history. Medieval Europeans gave chess pieces the names we use modernly. Of course, King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere, along with Merlin and Sir Lancelot, head the legendary characters of Camelot in a beautiful collector’s set of medieval-themed chess pieces.
Beautifully detailed themed chess sets are classic works of fine craftsmanship. They are sure to be cherished and proudly displayed for years to come. |
