Inspired by the vibrant colours of the Strelitzia reginae (Bird of Paradise flower), this striking Bold Chess Set in Orange and Blue brings together classic chess tradition with bold contemporary artistry. Each piece is hand-turned and hand-carved in hardwood, drawing on the timeless Staunton design and featuring Purling’s distinctive Knight. The pieces are hand-painted and finished in London to the highest standard. Every one goes through a meticulous six-stage process: two layers of primer, two coats of high-gloss paint, and two coats of crystal-clear lacquer to achieve a deep, glossy, and durable finish. For refinement and balance, each piece is completed with a soft Italian Nappa leather base felt, embossed with the Purling logo in 18-carat gold. Each set also includes four Queens to allow effortless pawn promotion. The pieces are paired with a 44cm x 44cm Italian alabaster stone chess board, adding elegance and natural beauty to this vibrant design. A luxurious and colourful statement piece, this Bold Chess Set is perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, and design lovers alike.
