Victorian-themed chess set featuring cardinal red and palisander cream pieces, inspired by classic playing cards. Paired with a deluxe 45 cm Spanish mongoy and maple board for a truly elegant display.

Taking its name from Queen Victoria - Britain’s longest-ruling sovereign, the Victorian era spanned from 1837 until Victoria’s death in January 1901. This revolutionary time transformed Britain from a largely agricultural island nation into a world-leading industrial powerhouse and a vast naval empire.

A time of great contrasts – from poverty and division to opulence and enlightenment, and from the heart and passion of the industrial revolution to the fanciful splendour of the Belle Époque - nothing speaks of the grandeur and strength of Britain like the Victorians.

These exquisite designs perfectly capture the whimsy and atmosphere of this majestic time.
