A truly stunning Chess set inspired by London's impressive skyline and famous architecture. Housed in a presentation box, this exquisite Chess set comes with a folding card chequerboard. The Chess pieces are modeled on London's landmarks and all feature a superb level of detail. The Pawns are terraced houses, Big Ben is the Rook, the London Eye plays the Knight and 30 St Mary Axe (the Gherkin) is cast as the Bishop. The Shard lends its elegance and might to the role of the Queen whilst no other building than Canary Wharf would be better suited to play the King, and this piece stands at four and a half inches tall. The 32-piece set is cast in injection moulded acrylic and each piece is double weighted and has a soft felt base. Finished in classic black and white, this stunning set is the perfect product for someone looking for a unique piece of British design.
