Often the choice of royalty, renowned interior designers, art collectors and chess Grandmasters, Purlings collection of time-honoured games is underpinned by a blend of tradition and exquisite craftsmanship. This chess set is a fine addition to a grand home, crafted in Italy from natural alabaster and featuring pieces that are machined from the solid mineral, dyed over several days for colour and then highly polished and lacquered for a wonderful lustre.
