Fabulous 'Crusaders' Chess Set: Great Christmas gift
This beautiful chess set is by the internationally renowned Studio Anne Carlton (SAC). It will make a wonderful Christmas gift for the serious, discerning chess enthusiast, or even for someone simply with an historical interest in the Crusades. The hand painted chess figures are meticulous in their detail, and depict key characters, notably Saladin, Richard the Lion Heart and their followers (see photos) The main figures are cms high. The 45cm square chess board is hardwood walnut and sycamore, with a beautifully beveled edge finish. The whole set, including its box, is in pristine condition, never used and with all its original packaging (see photos). I bought the whole set several years ago as a gift to myself ! at a specialist Games shop in York, possibly called 'Compendium'. I fully intended to learn how to play and never managed it. A check on the Studio Anne Carlton or Chess House site will provide more detail and pictures, and will immediately indicate what an absolute bargain this is. I would really prefer the buyer to collect rather than send by post. However if that is necessary the buyer will be responsible for postage and packaging costs. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for reading this advert. Read More
