The Lord of the Rings Series Chess Pieces - 5.9" King - Brown and Natural

Lord of the Rings (commonly abbreviated to LotR) set of chess pieces made from crushed marble and high quality bonded resin. A genuinely spectacular product that is a joy to display and use. The pieces are solid and therefore very heavy. Look at the remarkable detail in these figures - and with a King almost 7 inches high. The nose, eyes, mouth and expression are captured for each piece by this celebrated sculpture Dennis Fairweather. The characters are: Aragon, Lady Galadriel, Treebeard, Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo, the Hobbits, Sauron, Shelob, Gollum, Saruman, Nazgul and the Orcs.

In his literary masterpiece Tolkien poses these modern problems with absolute ethical principles and a belief in both an overarching providence and the importance of human choice.

Berkeley Chess have been able to recreate the mysticism and magic of the Rings with this stunning chess set.

Details of the chess pieces are as follows:

Based in the heart of rural Somerset in the South West of England, Berkeley Chess encapsulates the best of British craft manufacturing combined with innovative designs. Utilising traditional production techniques each chess set beautifully replicates the original sculptures, painstakingly created by talented artists. The exquisite detail of the design is brought to life by careful development of a silicon mould and a unique staining and polishing technique which emphasises the fine detail of the original figures. Each piece is then finished off with the application of a protective felt base and presented in beautiful yet practical packaging.
