Featured Products in the 3.25 to 3.5 Inch Chess Pieces Range

Within our curated collection, we proudly feature three standout sets, each showcasing unique characteristics and unparalleled craftsmanship.

Crafted from the finest graded ebony and boxwood, the Supreme Series epitomizes the classic Staunton design's elegance. These pieces, double weighted and felted, promise a stable and distinguished presence on any board, ideally paired with a 20-inch playing surface. As ebony becomes increasingly rare, owning a set from the Supreme Series becomes not just a pleasure but a wise investment.

The Isle of Lewis Chessmen, produced in collaboration with the National Museum Scotland, are a piece of history brought to life. Cast from laser scans of the original 12th-century artifacts, these pieces offer a tangible connection to the game's storied past. Presented in exceptional gift packaging, they represent a blend of authenticity, craftsmanship, and historical reverence.

For those seeking exceptional value without sacrificing quality, the Down Head Knight Ebonised Staunton Chess Pieces are an excellent choice. Crafted from durable, selected boxwood and finished to mimic the appearance of ebony, these pieces are robust, beautifully polished, and perfect for both play and display, ideally on a 17-inch board.

Selecting Your Ideal Medium Size Chess Pieces

When choosing your set from the "3.25 to 3.5 inch pieces" range, consider:

• Considerations for Wood vs. Metal Chess Pieces: Beyond wood, metal chess pieces, such as brass and nickel, offer a distinct heft and shine, adding a modern twist to traditional designs. Your choice might reflect not just aesthetic preference but also the feel of the game as metal pieces move across the board.
• Design Aesthetics: Whether you prefer the traditional Staunton look or something with a rich backstory, select a set that matches your personal style.
• Board Compatibility: Ensure that the base diameter of your chosen pieces is suited to the squares of your chessboard. This harmony between piece and board not only enhances playability but also the set's visual appeal on display.
• Weight and Balance: The feel of a chess piece in hand is crucial to the game experience. Consider the weight and balance of the pieces, with double-weighted options like the Supreme Series offering stability and a satisfying heft during play.
