Description
This decorative king chess piece brings a touch of playful character to a shelf, mantel or console table. Modelled on the traditional king from a chess set, it stands 28cm tall with a rounded base and the familiar crowned finial at the top. We have made it as a standalone ornament rather than part of a working set, so it works as a sculptural accessory in its own right. The proportions are generous enough to hold their own against books, framed prints or a stack of trays.
The piece is cast in ceramic with a soft grey finish that has a gentle matte quality, reading as calm and understated rather than glossy. Grey sits easily alongside neutral, monochrome and darker interiors, and the tone pairs well with warm woods, brass touches and off-white walls. Group it with a smaller pawn or bishop for a considered arrangement, or let it stand alone on a bookshelf as a single focal accessory. It also suits a study, library nook or home office where the chess reference feels at home.
As one of our decorative accessories, it needs little upkeep. The ceramic body is solid and holds its shape, so a light dust with a soft dry cloth keeps the surface looking fresh. Wipe away any marks with a barely damp cloth and dry straight after. Keep it out of the reach of small hands and away from table edges, as ceramic can chip if knocked. Positioned on a stable surface, it will stay looking smart for years.
