Sets that get noticed

Metal pieces are popular for their weight in the hand and their bronze, copper or gold finishes. Cases with drawers or folding cases give the set real presence on a desk or coffee table. Every set in this selection is delivered complete.

Our selection

  • 30 cm metal set in a folding case, antique bronze or gold and silver.
  • 30.5 cm wooden set with drawer and metal pieces, with 2 extra queens.
  • Metal set on a 38 cm lacquered board, 7.6 cm king.
  • Red lacquered Chinese set with warrior figurines.
  • Small gifts: metal queen bottle stopper, wooden king USB stick.

For a regular player

If he plays often, go for fairly large pieces (king of 7.5 cm or more) or club equipment: see our gifts for experienced players and our chess clocks. If he mainly loves fine objects, see our metal chess sets and our luxury sets.

Matching the gift

A metal set goes well with an everyday object from the same selection: the queen bottle stopper for a wine lover, the king USB stick for the desk. If you are unsure of the player's level, a complete set with storage is still the safest choice: it will be used for playing and for decoration alike.

Frequently asked questions

Which chess set to give a man who loves beautiful things?

A boxed set with metal pieces, or a wooden set with drawers: they look good on a desk or coffee table.

What small chess gift for a man?

The queen-shaped bottle stopper, supplied in a velvet pouch, or the wooden king USB stick.

Are the metal pieces big enough to play with?

Yes, with a king of 6.2 to 7.6 cm depending on the model. For long club games, go for a 9.5 cm king.
