The Berkeley Chess Alice In Wonderland Russet & Mahogany Chess Set

• Stone crushed resin chess pieces.
• Deep, rich russet and cream finish.
• Incredible attention to detail.
• Iconic Alice In Wonderland characters.
• Includes stunning Mahogany and Maple board.

Based on the timeless childhood favourite characters from Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass’, this incredibly charming chess set is as luxurious as it is unique. The famous Alice In Wonderland stories were penned by Lewis Carroll as entertainment for the children of The Dean of Christ Church in Oxford (where Carroll was employed as a Lecturer). Alice’s mother Lorina Liddell convinced Carroll to have the stories published when she saw how captivated her children were by them. You will recognise all the main characters beautifully brought to life in rich cream and russet-brown resin, with designs inspired directly by John Tenniel’s original Alice illustrations.
We have paired these pieces with a stunning maple and mahogany inlaid board, creating an exemplary chess set that is sure to become the centrepiece of any room!

The chess board in this set has been expertly crafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain using precision laser cutting techniques and stunning wooden veneers combined with expert lacquering and finishing. The underside of the board is finished in a satin veneer that is a different colour from the playing surface of the board. The veneers used for the underside may vary in colour from batch to batch.
