Greek Archers | blue & bronze | large
This meticulously designed metal chess set draws inspiration from the Roman Empire and is directly imported from Manopoulus, Greece. The chess pieces are hand-crafted from solid zinc and copper plated. One set is elegantly finished with faux blue oxide on copper while the other set is bronze finish. Each piece is coated with lacquer to enhance its durability and protection.
Based on the legend of the twin gods, Apollo and Artemis who were the twin children of Zeus, the Pawns take form as skilled archers. Apollo (the god of archery) and Artemis (the goddess of the hunt) are believed to have invented archery. The King is represented by Caesar, and the Queen his wife. The members of the Roman army are the Bishop and Knight. A Roman column so prevalent in their architecture serves as the Rook.
The handcrafted classic brass and metallic chess board, in gold and dark blue colours, complement these chess pieces perfectly and sets the scene for an epic battle.
Comes complete in a wooden box with storage for pieces and board. Packed in a beautiful Manopoulos gift card box.
Size of the board: 44cm x 44cm with 4.5cm squares.Height of the King: 9.7cm; base of the king: 3cm
Weight of the set: 8kg
