The founding of Rome goes back to the very early days of civilization. It is so old, it is today known as ‘the eternal city’. The Romans believed that their city was founded in the year 753 BC although modern historians though believe it was the year 625 BC.

The ancient Egyptian civilization with their advancements in science, architecture, and medicine continue to mystify modern scientists and engineers. Their world and the priceless buried treasure they left behind thousand of years later captivate us. Now, you have the chance to get a taste of that ancient style and wonder with our beautifully made Egyptian sculpted chess pieces. It's a stunning set that you will want to display in a place of prominence.

These Roman and Egyptian chessmen are made out of Polyresin, which is a crushed stone composite. It has the look and feel of stone, but the durability of a plastic, offering the best of both worlds. The pieces are highlighted with gold paint.
