Buy it on Etsy

This unique chess set is being offered directly by the artist, Jack Bellis of Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA (near Philadelphia). Crafted from solid pewter, it features 12 intricate sculptures—a typical chess set has 6—that are sure to leave any chess enthusiast or art lover slack-jawed.

One-of-a-Kind

The sculpting style is similar to Rodin’s in that it is impressionistic, more so than ultra-realist. Try to understand that you are getting an extreme and unprecedented work of art, not any old chess set. For the full details, see the Etsy description.
