TH2045 Hand Painted Celtic Chess Set Heavy Weighted in Crushed Stone. King Size 4.25 inches This product from Chess Baron: This is the beautifully decorated version of the Celtics chess set. The Celtics were inhabitants of Western Europe (Ireland, Wales, Brittany and the Highlands of Scotland). They were subjected to raids by Vikings and Norsemen and our chess set is the story of a battle between the Irish King Brian Boru, and the Viking invaders at Clontarf - Dublin. Though the Celts managed to defeat the Viking invaders, Boru was slain. This chess set features the principal characters involved in the battle and depicts Celtic designs and artefacts of the period. Through the detailed design and decoration, the chess set portrays many of the characteristics of the era with authentic and historically correct artefacts shown in splendid detail. The skill and workmanship of the Celtic tribes was demonstrated by their artistic and unique designs, recognised throughout the world and reproduced here in this magnificent chess set.

ChessBaron Guiding Principles ChessBaron is genuinely committed to high quality hand carved chess sets and computer chess. Chess products like this, of this level of quality are becoming rarer and rarer in this commoditised world. It's just too tempting to give in to the short term desire for profit and so to skimp on materials to make the item less expensive, cutting this corner and shaving that edge. When our items are shown in future runs of antique roadshow, we intend to be still here, still around for your children and your grandchildren, serving them as we wish to serve you, with integrity, honesty and pride. Not just as buzzwords, but as the guiding principles of our name. We have our grandchildren to think of too.
