Bespoke Bold Chess

We regularly create luxury chess sets in bespoke colours to compliment our client’s interior design, their company’s brand or even the paint of their supercar. Other customers wish to celebrate a personal memory, theme or their sports team’s jersey. We would be delighted to create a unique set for you and can precisely match Pantone, RAL and metallic shades.

We offer regular 4 inch bespoke Bold Chess sets, for a 45cm board; and also smaller 3 inch models – which fit on a 36cm board. Lead time is typically 4-8 weeks. Please enquire via our contact form below and Simon and Colm will revert back shortly to assist you.

“I questioned why many luxury chess sets are brown varnished wood – it seemed a missed opportunity to co-ordinate them with modern interiors with options of both bright and muted gloss lacquered colours. Bold Chess are traditional Staunton with a Purling London twist.”
