The Apollo chess pieces are handcrafted in India and represent some of the most detailed work in the collection. Available in three combinations—ebony with boxwood, lacquered ebony with lacquered boxwood, and lacquered padauk with lacquered boxwood—the pieces share a refined profile with ornamental detailing throughout.
The knight is carved with particular attention, with a defined mane and expressive features. The bishop carries a tall, open mitre, and the pawns have subtle collar detailing that distinguishes them from simpler designs. The king is finished with a distinctive finial, and a traditional cross finial is included as an alternative.
With a king height of 4.4 in, the pieces are weighted for steady handling during play. The king base diameter is 5.1 cm (2.00 in), and the pawn base diameter is 3.7 cm (1.46 in). These proportions suit 6.0 cm (2.36 in) squares well, leaving comfortable spacing between neighbouring pieces. The set includes additional queens and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
For a complete set, consider pairing with the Italian-made Da Vinci chess board.
