Due to being a hand painted artisan product, every set will be unique and your set will vary slightly in colour from the pictures on our website.

These playing pieces look beautiful on traditional wood and marble boards. A board is not included, but we have pictured the hand-painted set on an 18" Radley Board, the antique set on an 18" Lady Margaret Hall and the red/ ivory set on a 16" Leckford board (sold separately).
