Crusades 5.25"

Our designers and craftsmen at Studio Anne Carlton have created a magnificent chess set which epitomises the struggles for domination between Christians and Muslims. This conflict has continued intermittently for over a thousand years but it is the perion between 1095 and 1292 which has captured our imagination because of the exploits of the Crusader knights. Stories of heroes of the Crusades abound in all cultures. We invite you now to create your own heroes and villains from within the characters of our chess set.

• Each piece has a fine felt base, giving it a soft, smooth landing when moving
• Handmade in Great Britain with extreme attention to detail, made uniquely for you
• All packaged in a premium presentation box, for both safe transportation and the utmost unboxing experience
