PURLING LONDON ART CHESS sets have been exhibited at Christie’s, Saatchi Gallery and the World Chess Hall of Fame. Many of these 1 of 1, hand-painted works have been the choice of royalty, renowned interior designers, art collectors and chess Grandmasters. Purling has collaborated with over thirty artists, including Sophie Matisse, Mr. Doodle and Thierry Noir. Every Art Chess set is hand-finished in London, England and can be made bespoke to your wishes.
CAIO LOCKE
“The mountains within each piece denote the individual journeys that must be made and together lead to a greater whole, larger picture and unseen outcome. The board is a swirling, ethereal, cloud-dwelling city, a place of transience that is yet to settle upon its final form. The castle in the title refers to the castling move, the defensive safeguarding of the king in a time of potential threat, transition and uncertainty.”
Caio Locke
