The legendary King Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, features in countless fables and tales of magic and chivalry which have captured our imagination for hundreds of years. This wonderful set of resin chess pieces is inspired by these glorious tales from Arthurian Legend, and is among the most detailed and attractive we've seen.
The French poet Chrétien de Troyes authored many chivalric tales of Arthur and his knights of Camelot (and even created the knight Lancelot) during the 12th century. These stories gave way to endless other writers, poets and artists to create their own spin on the Knights Of The Round Table, with writings filled with the romantic idea of chivalry.
From the Pre-Raphaelite poets and painters such as Tennyson and Waterhouse in the 19th century, to the world of 20th century theatre and cinema including Camelot and Excalibur, these wonderful stories of the mystical Arthurian world continue to inspire to this day.
Finished with a unique metallic pewter and copper colouring, these exquisite carved resin pieces are sure to be a talking point displayed anywhere in the home!
