• Exquisitely ornate.
• Painstakingly hand-painted.
• 8.3cm tall king.
• Presented with a beautiful Spanish chessboard.

A hand-painted Battle of Waterloo chess set featuring Bonaparte and Wellington, with finely detailed themed pieces and an optional Spanish-made board.

Led by a very recognisable Bonaparte and Wellington, each king is accompanied by his respective lady, Josephine and Catherine. With the French dressed in navy and the British in red, the bishops are smartly uniformed officers, with the knights as intricately carved mounted cavalry. The pawns are infantry bearing firearms, but represented as cannons with the relevant country's flag flying above. The rooks in this set are the most eye-catching pieces on the field.

With a beautiful 40cm walnut and maple chessboard from Spain, this makes a very enviable chess set. The Battle of Waterloo themed chessmen are, however, also available without the chessboard. Either way, this would make a superb gift.
