Thrilling Theme Chess Sets

Meticulous quality inspections, set by set, take place at ChessHouse ensuring each theme chess set arrives not just complete, but unbroken, and in the same quality and design from manufacturing.

The entire line of carefully selected theme chess sets photographed and displayed here for your enjoyment in high-resolution imagery, are finely-detailed and handcrafted from a lighter weight polystone that's both durable and creates a long-lasting, brilliant paint finish.

As you enjoy shopping for an ideal chess set, you'll appreciate the high resolution photos so you know exactly what you are getting.

Each set of pieces is separated in compartments to protect them during shipment and storage. Special care is taken in delivering your chess set from inspections all the way to packaging for delivery.

Some chess sets, notably the Studio Anne Carlton line, exhibit the finest quality workmanship and often come in a beautiful gift box with individually separated pieces. The SAC pieces have significant weight, unlike most other polystone theme chess sets. Combining their superb design and appearance with a more weighted feel, a Studio Anne Carlton chess set is going to bring you top quality and appeal. SAC sets usually run from $150 to $500 but they're well worth the money. They originate in England.

What is polystone and why are many of these chess sets made of polystone?
Polystone is a compound made up largely of polyurethane resin mixed with stone powder additives that give it added weight and the porcelain or "stone-like" feel that resulted in the materials name itself. Polystone is durable and highly effective at maintaining a sharp paint finish. Unlike porcelain which is fired in a kiln, Polystone is a cold-cast material in which no heat is used in the manufacturing process, resulting in much greater variations of hand painted finish. Therefore polystone lends to a cleaner, more detailed set of chess pieces.
