Handcrafted from solid redwood and inspired by Malta's historic invasions, The La Valletta Redwood Chessmen boast an extraordinary design. The king and queen have wide bases, making them suitable for chess boards of at least 21 inches (55 cm). The deep red color of these pieces complements dark wood playing surfaces. With their intricate bridles, the black and white knights steal the show on the board. Each piece takes over two months to make, with the knight being the most time-consuming to carve. These chessmen exude elegance and sophistication, perfect for the discerning player.
Elevate your game with The La Valletta Redwood Chessmen, featuring a hand-crafted rook towering over the knight, topped with a traditional castle silhouette and a sleek midriff design. Each piece is expertly crafted for a comfortable and exquisite playing experience. The classic pawns, just as intricately made as the rest, showcase the significance of this lowly yet crucial piece on the chessboard. Experience the unrivalled elegance and grandeur of these 4.5 inch imperial chessmen.
