About this product
 
A true demonstration of the armor and power brought to every battlefield by Medieval knights! The Medieval Warrior theme chess set truly embodies the core of Europe's armies for centuries--finally supplanted by the superior force of gunpowder, and very rarely, by the best of archers. The Battle of Agincourt was one place where archers were able to defeat knights, but to the credit of the knights, the conditions were nearly as poor as possible for fighting.

The proudly standing king of the pieces holds his sword and stands at attention. The visors of all the knights completely cover the face, an armor facet that appeared with the total knight, sometimes called the mobile battle machine. The queen piece holds the ax standing ready for battle

The bishops disguise knights of degree, with their broadswords held point downwards in front. The knights are the focal point of this set though. Essentially the 'tank' of medieval warfare, these knights show the heavily armored horse and rider. The strength of the horses was incredible to have been able to carry a fully armored knight and the armor the horse wore as well! And what medieval set is complete without the castle? The rooks are a fine embodiment of the refuge for all medieval peoples in Europe. High walls and small windows made many castles nearly impregnable to assault!

The basic colors of the sides determine the players--a light silver with cream bases denotes the darker pieces, and a light gold with cloudy bases shows the lighter pieces. Each piece appears like a sculpture, and altogether the pieces make a very fine show, an asset to any room!

These finely made chess sets are made of poly-resin plastic. Each piece is hand-painted using long lasting, lead-free paint. These pieces are not recommended for children below 10 years of age since they will break if dropped or played with roughly.

Specifications:
  • Pieces: Non-weighted, plastic resin, and hand painted.
  • King size: 4 1/2" tall.
  • Pieces only. Chessboard not included.
  • Set weighs 5.75 pounds.
