Experience chess elevated to an art form with this extraordinary set—featuring the sculptural Mark Antony Chess Pieces paired with a 21-inch luxury ebony rosewood and boxwood chess board. Together, they create a visually arresting and historically inspired ensemble that blends classical elegance with contemporary craftsmanship.
The Mark Antony Chess Pieces were endorsed by the late Avtarjeet Singh Dhanjal, a world-renowned sculptor celebrated for his profound artistic vision and timeless works. This distinctive set is crafted from precious ebony and boxwood hardwoods, with each piece exquisitely hand-carved and weighted for perfect balance. With its Roman-inspired forms, reminiscent of the colonnade of St. Peter's Basilica, the design honours the legacy of Mark Antony—the famed Roman general and lover of Queen Cleopatra.
The set includes 34 pieces, including extra queens for pawn promotion, with a 4-inch king that commands attention on the board.
Complementing this masterful set is a 21-inch chessboard, handcrafted from ebony rosewood and boxwood. The inlaid 2.25-inch squares offer a perfect fit for the full-sized pieces, while the high-gloss finish brings out the rich grain of the woods. The bevelled edging adds a final touch of luxury, making this board as much a display piece as a playing surface.
