Description of Richard The Lionheart Chess Pieces by Studio Anne Carlton
A more definitive decorated chess set would be hard to find than this superbly crafted masterpiece. Our designers, by combining their skills with the styles of Staunton and the old French Dieppe sets, have created one of our most attractive sets. Two armies from the late twelfth century face off against each other, their heroic leader is Richard, King of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart. This regal chess set features important characters from the era of Richard I, who reigned from 1189-1199.
ALL STUDIO ANNE CARLTON CHESSMEN ARE MADE FROM POLYRESIN, WHICH IS A CRUSHED STONE COMPOSITE. IT HAS THE LOOK, FEEL AND WEIGHT OF STONE, BUT THE DURABILITY OF A PLASTIC, MAKING IT THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
