Inspired by one of the cultures in which chess originated, the master craftsmen of India have composed a set only befitting for Royalty. Emulating the iconic imageries that have been known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, this set is nothing short of brilliant. The Sultan contains original features never before seen in the industry and has recently become a highly sought after collectible item. The knight possesses bold facial features with sharp ears, large eyes, a broad forehead, and noticeably wide nostrils. This warrior has imposing characteristics with a hunter like spirit that is ready for battle! This is one of two chess sets offered by Chess Forma featuring a “routed base” with the other being the Pro-Sport Staunton. This feature gives the chess pieces a slightly elevated look when placed on a board. The complete chess set comes with an extra pair of queens with leather bottoms. This set is colossal with a King height of 4 ½ inches tall, is triple weighted, and has a base diameter of 1 ¾ inches. It is available in either bud rosewood or ebony wood. We highly recommend a chess board with 2.25 inch squares. All chess pieces are intricately carved with meticulous detailing. The turning of this set has extremely nice curves giving it quite a unique look when compared to other luxury chess sets. The Sultan is truly a chess set of modern substance giving it great style and presence both on the chess board and in your living room.
