Cornish Chess Set – this unique chess set is handmade in Cornwall from solid pewter and comes with a wooden board and wooden box. Each piece is relevant to Cornwall and is depicted as follows:
Pawn – Lighthouse (H: 50mm, W:25mm)Â Rook/Castle – Mining Engine house (H: 62mm W: 30mm)
Bishop – Cornish Celtic cross (H: 65mm, W:32mm)Â Knight – Sword &Â Shield (H: 65mm W: 32mm)
Queen – Bal Maiden (H: 73mm W: 31mm)Â Â King – Cornish Miner (H: 76mm W: 31mm)
The two opposing sets are distinguished by one being highly polished and the other antiqued to give the pewter a slightly darker finish.
Wooden Board dimensions: 41cm x 41cm, 4cm square size. The board and box are made for us in Greece.
