In some ways, this set may be considered the opposite of the Gold and Silver Plated Chess Sets above. The sets above were minimalist in design. This chess set is extravagant in design. The Gold and Silver Plated chess pieces in the sets above were meant to be instantly recognisable for everyone. These pieces did not. The sets above aimed to avoid challenging beliefs of any sort. This set… well, it may be challenging certain beliefs.
Most certainly, this is not a set for everyone. However, if it fits your outlook on life, it is an interesting set to display, to play, and perhaps even just to keep around – after all, such sets are quite a rarity, and a curious one.
The pieces are made from sterling silver and gold plated sterling silver. The Chess board is made out of silver, plated silver and wood. It is unusually richly detailed, and it actually has a dual use – it also functions as a storage case. Its sides feature reliefs depicting Jerusalem, the Holy City.
If you are looking for some really special biblical chess set – this might be just the set for you.
