To celebrate this rich historical period, Berkeley Chess have crafted these stunning Medieval chess pieces based on a 14th Century German set. The pieces all feature excellent detail, such as the on the the reverse side of the King’s throne, where small depictions of warriors can be seen. Likewise, the Queen’s throne shows ladies in waiting and the Bishop’s throne, holy men and musicians. In the Rook can be seen the beginning of the introduction of the Castle into early European Chess.
