Unique Handcrafted Chess Sets from Africa

Beautiful Chess Sets - So enchanting and useable

Every exquisite piece is handcarved in wood then hand cast in crushed stone (no resins) and handpainted with very fine oils in precise detail. The boards are made from Kiaat and Koto woods (both indigenous hardwoods) and inlaid in a cast stone border. The detail of each border is coordinated with its set.

Mark from Cincinnati, Ohio, bought U2002 and wrote:

" I am VERY pleased with the chess set! I am also very happy with the craftsmanship that went into the board (nice & heavy!) and the game pieces. I spent the month of March this year touring Southern Africa and was unable to purchase a set to bring home due to lack of space on the tour I took, and most places I couldn't have shipped a nice set back (due to being mostly in remote areas).

Thank You again, and I may purchase more work from Arkmall in the very near future."
