A Game of Wits: A Collector's Chess Set by Berkeley Chess Ltd.

Step into the world of Sherlock Holmes with this exquisite chess set, a unique collaboration between Berkeley Chess Ltd. and the literary genius of Arthur Conan Doyle. Crafted from reconstituted marble, each piece is meticulously weighted and hand-sculpted, bringing to life the iconic characters in stunning detail.

Immerse yourself in the narrative:

The ever-observant Sherlock Holmes stands tall as the King, his deerstalker hat and magnifying glass instantly recognizable. His loyal companion, Dr. Watson, takes the role of the white Bishop, his unwavering support etched in his expression.

Professor Moriarty, the cunning nemesis, embodies the opposing King, his calculating gaze a chilling challenge. Mrs Hudson, quick-witted and ever-reliable, guards as a Queen, while the formidable Inspector Lestrade commands the Rook. Pawns are elegantly depicted as either Policemen or Thugs, characters around the 221B Baker Street office. Your imagination adds a carriage, a magnifying glass..., and of course, a pipe.

Beyond the game: The quality extends beyond the visual. Each piece rests upon a bed of plush felt, protecting surfaces and adding a touch of luxury. This chess set is not merely a game; it's a conversation starter, a collector's item, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Sherlock Holmes.

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.
