Description

An Elizabethan era inspired ornamental Chess set, manufactured in the UK from ground stone resin. The Elizabethan era is the epoch in English history marked by the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603).



The Chess pieces in this set feature a superb attention to detail and all have a nice weight and feel about them, featuring felted bottoms.



Elizabethan England has been encapsulated in this beautiful chess set created by the master craftsmen of Berkeley Chess. The characters bringing the era to life are as follows:

• King: Lord Burghley – Sir William Cecil, The Queen’s Chief Advisor
• Queen: Elizabeth I
• Bishop: Matthew Parker – Archbishop of Canterbury
• Knight: Sir Walter Raleigh
• Rook: White Tower of The Tower of London
• Pawns: Ships of the English Fleet

The King piece stands at 4.75 inches.



Please note that a Chessboard is not included. We recommend a board with 50mm squares for use with this Chess set.



Replacement pieces can be sourced on request. Please contact us for the availability and quote.
