This is a Beautiful and quite large set based on the court of Queen Elizabeth
the First. It depicts some of the most important figures of her reign and even
has the White Tower of London as the Rook and the fleet of Galleons that were
sent to face the Spanish Armada as Pawns.
The set is Made to order and takes around 4 weeks from casting to completion.
it can be a wee bit swifter depending on timing and workload. Creation times
can get longer in the busy season especially mid September on if you have a
time crunch or a specific date just message and i can give you solid
confirmation.

not included,
Each piece is Cold-cast by hand using Tufstone a polymer modified gypsum
cement, then painted, glazed and felt bottoms attached.

If you don't see a colour you crave there feel free to ask i might be able to
do it.
I make each piece as strong as possible these are essentially akin to a solid
ceramic handled correctly they will last a lifetime but will break if dropped
on a concrete floor for instance.The set is shipped with each piece
individually bubble wrapped and laid on a bed of larger bubbles and packing
peanuts.
Thank you for looking, feel free to message with any questions. :)
