Details

Gray tones lend an inviting air of mystery to this handcrafted chess set. The game employs marble's power to intensify the mental battles to be waged. The combatants line up, patiently prepared for the heated climax when one of the competitors first announces, "Check." The Sierra Family infuses a classic game with a touch of Mexican artistry.

As each piece is sculpted individually with natural stones, there may exist slight variations in the color and grain pattern of the stone. The dimension of the pieces may also vary slightly, up to 1 in (2.5 cm).

“If you like black onyx this should sate that desire.”

“I need to purchase the rules for this game of dominoes so I can get the most out of this set.”

This is one of my first purchases from the Sierra Family. I have several of their works of art now and will probably purchase more as time goes on. I recommend the Sierra Family to anyone that values beauty.

“Replacement pieces - quality pieces”

I ordered a replacement chess pieces after some went missing over the past 30 years owning the set. The product came wrapped very well and quickly. The quality of the pieces were very impressive and I could tell some attention put into making the set. Think I m going to order checkers next!
