Full description
Beautiful handmade chess sets, chess boards and chess pieces crafted for you here in Ireland. With over 15 years experience and an honors degree in fine art at your disposal.
This listing is for a custom made Staunton chess set.
The original chess pieces were hand made in Eastern Europe around 1937 and this set is a direct copy taken from the original set and as such carries many of the original idiosyncrasies associated with hand made pieces from that era. I have the only original version in existence and this beautiful unique chess set is is exclusive to MourneStudios.
The pieces have particularly deep bases which give the chess set a nice weighted feel and provide pendulous movements which may add to the feel of any chess match.
The pieces are made from reconstructed stoneresin that when cast creates a very strong robust material.
The tallest piece (The King) is aprox 12.5cm s tall with a 4 cm base making this a very substantial collection of chessmen.
As well as enjoying the aesthetic quality of playing chess with such a beautiful chess set, the act of playing chess itself has been linked to a variety of health benefits and is said to help develop perspective, improve memory, increase intelligence, deepen focus, elevate creativity, boost planning skills, increase self-awareness, protect against dementia, help ADHD and reduce panic attack symptoms.
This listing is for the chess pieces only. Board not included
Designed by Adam in N. Ireland
