These chessmen are so original and rarely seen anywhere in the world. The Barley Corn derive from an ethical source of Camel bone where the animals have died as a result of natural causes. Eastern motifs form the foundation for the designs, enhancing the adventurous feel of the chess pieces. There is also a superb regal characteristic, illustrated best by the 4 inch tall, elegant king.

If so desired, the king can be made smaller by removing the top half, revealing a secret space to fill with small precious items. There is no question that this eye-catching set, is ornamental. What may appear less obvious, is that they are heavy, robust pieces because of the material they are crafted from.

We have some excellent boards that will complement this set and recommend you buy one at least 18 inches (45 cm).
