Chess Sets

Marble, Bone and Brass Chess Sets

Every set in this collection includes a complete board and all 32 pieces. Most are made from natural marble, with smaller groups in bone and brass. Board sizes range from compact 12-inch sets for a desk or side table to 16 and 20-inch display boards. Our 24-inch marble chess tables combine the board and base as a permanent piece of furniture.

Marble chess sets

Marble makes up most of the collection. Available stone combinations include black and white, red and white, coral and white, botticino and black, marina and black, and black zebra with white. Because the stone is natural, its veining and color will vary from the photographs, making every board and set of pieces slightly different.

Bone and Roman chess sets

The bone sets offer detailed carving in black and white or black and coral. Our Roman-style brass sets use sculpted metal pieces on a 12-inch board. These smaller categories remain together here so you can compare their materials and prices directly with the marble sets.

Choosing the right size

A 12-inch board works well on a desk, side table or smaller coffee table. A 16-inch set has more visual presence and gives the pieces more room. A 20-inch board is best on a larger table where it can remain displayed. The 24-inch chess tables are furniture-scale pieces, so review the product dimensions and current shipping information before ordering.

Caring for a stone chess set

Dust the board and pieces with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a lightly damp cloth and dry the stone promptly. Avoid acidic, abrasive or bleach-based household cleaners, which can dull polished marble. Lift rather than slide the pieces to reduce fine surface scratches.
