Each set of pieces, crocheted in 100%linen (4castles, 4 knights, etc..,) is individually designed, with coloured glass beads identifying the various sets.

 

 The board is woven as double cloth with the same linen and white /black squares of glass were inserted as the weaving progressed. (The intention was to display it lit from below).

The glass has given the board a really good, firm surface on which to play.

The pieces have been treated, first with a hardener then with a clear protective coating. It is eminently playable with.

It has its own purpose made Perspex display box. It is completely unique.

It is for sale at: £1.500 +p&p.
