The Bold difference

Customise your pieces with Pantone or RAL colours

Purling Bold series pieces are hewn from Boxwood
(a hardwood) inspired by traditional Staunton design and featuring Purling’s unique Knight design.

Customise your chess board with a plaque

The pieces are hand painted, finished and assembled in London, England. Each piece is coated with two layers of base coat primer, two layers of high gloss paint and two coats of high strength lacquer, to produce a deep glossy, satisfying and durable finish for added protection.

Our knight piece is uniquely Purling

Each piece has a beautiful Italian Nappa leather base felt, featuring The Purling logo embossed in 18 carat gold.

Customise your Bold chess set

Purling craft the beautiful games

Choose from either Purling colours or any combination of your choice for your pieces, to match the interior design of your home, office or favourite team’s jersey.  

Bespoke chess boards can be painted & printed to your required design, including photographs, logo’s and messages. Alternately, choose from Purling Maple or Italian Alabaster chess boards.

Each set contains four Queens for effortless Pawn promotion.

Each set is shipped in Purling branded premium packaging, both protecting and displaying your purchase perfectly.

A truly unique finish

Customise your pieces with Pantone or RAL colours

Each chess piece is machined from the solid material, dyed over several days for depth of colour and finally polished and lacquered to provide a wonderful lustre.

Customise your chess board with a plaque

The comfortably heavy pieces are completed with an Italian Nappa leather base felt, featuring The Purling logo embossed in 18 carat gold.

Our knight piece is uniquely Purling

The solid Alabaster chess board compliments the pieces, displaying a unique natural veining of the polished material in each board.

Classic with a twist

Purling craft the beautiful games

Our Stone Chess sets are crafted in Italy from Alabaster, which is a mineral or rock that is tactile, durable and soft enough to be used for detailed carving. As a natural mineral product, Alabaster has translucent properties often with veined colour variations and salt crystals naturally occurring, giving each set a truly unique finish.

Each set is shipped in Purling branded premium packaging, both protecting and displaying your purchase perfectly.
