Chess Set – Fat 5 & Friends Animal-FFC7

Aptly named the Fat Five Chess Set, this unique themed chess set ads a bit of humour to the game of chess with a whimsical take on the Big 5 African game animals. The most assiduous attention to detail, brings life to each facet of our Fat Five African Animal themed chess pieces. From the mane of our lion, the spots of our leopard, the horns of our buffalo, the hide of our rhino, to the stripes of our zebra, every hand moulded piece, will make your chess experience feel as though it takes place right at the heart of the magical African Wild. With exaggerated features and quizzical facial expressions these chess pieces and board, which have been fashioned out of ground stone, kiaat and koto woods,  make for a stunning collector’s item.

All the pieces in this unique chess set are sculptured by our in-house artists, then produced from custom made, hand-designed moulds, followed up with hours of the finest attention in hand-painted colouring, with the focus on intricate detail, to give realism to this Fat Five African Animal themed chess set. The tallest chess piece in the collection is the uncontested Lion, sitting in leisurely at 56mm tall, with all the chess pieces having a base diameter of between 26-34mm. This fits perfectly on the 50mm2 chess squares on our ground stone chess board. As always, great care has been taken to neatly and securely package the 4kg chess set to prevent damage while transporting or storing.
