The Regal Curve Series is a brass army built on curves, where a turned timber pattern would give you straight collars and stepped profiles.
The king stands 91mm on a foot narrow for that height, so the whole set reads tall and slender, and the swept stems carry the eye up the piece.
One side is finished metallic gold and the other metallic grey. Both reflect rather than absorb, so the two armies separate by the way they catch a lamp as much as by colour.
The army is heavy for a king this tall, which is simply what brass does.
No two pieces are quite alike, which on curved forms is easier to see than it would be on a plain shape.
Height is the obvious figure to size a set by, and it works while base and height keep a fairly fixed relationship. On this pattern they do not.
The base is what has to share a square with its neighbours, and on this pattern it is narrow. That is why the set takes a smaller square than the king height would suggest.
What you get is a tall army standing on small squares, a deliberately dramatic look and not a compromise. Even on the smallest square the set is cut for, there is a clear ring of surface round every foot.
Worth knowing before it arrives: a tall, slender army reads taller across a room than a squat one of the same measurement, so it will look bigger on the table than the figures suggest.
These pieces suit small boards, with squares of 40mm to 50mm, and both ends of that window work. The choice is about how open you want the position to look rather than about fit.
The obvious gain is mass. It means a piece that has been put down stays put down, with no rock to settle out, and a move has a definite short report to it.
What the mass does not buy you is resistance to a sideways knock. The foot is narrow, so a sleeve dragged across the board will take a piece over. Placed is steady; nudged is not.
Brass is also cool to the hand on pick up and stays cool, which players either enjoy or find slightly clinical. The rest of the brass range sits in our metal chess pieces.
The contrast works differently too. Timber separates on tone and holds steady whatever the light; metallic gold against metallic grey separates on reflection, so it strengthens under a directed light.
That same directed light is what shows fingerprints, which a metallic surface picks up in a way oiled timber does not. A dry cloth over the set once a session deals with it entirely.
Then there is the meeting point between metal and board. Brass is harder than the timbers a board is built from, so a piece dragged across a square can mark a soft finish. Placing instead of sliding is the whole answer.
Keep the set out of direct sun and away from a heater, dust with a dry soft cloth, and leave oil, furniture polish and solvent based cleaners alone. Keep abrasive metal polishes and household cleaners away from the set entirely.
The interesting thing about this set is the proportion. A tall king on a foot that narrow is an unusual shape to build, and it produces an army that stands tall on small squares with a lot of surface showing around every piece.
Combined with the swept curves and the gold against grey, it makes a position look composed, and the weight means a placed piece stays exactly where it was placed.
The caveat is that same narrow foot. A sleeve across the board will take a piece over, and metal on timber wants placing rather than sliding. For a broad footed timber army for fast play, start instead with our wood chess pieces.

40mm to 50mm. That looks small for a king this tall until you look at the foot, which is the part that has to share a square with its neighbours. Both ends of the window work in play.
Two kilograms across the complete 34 pieces. That weight is what settles a piece on its square, so a piece that has been placed does not shift or rock.
Metallic gold is the light army and metallic grey the dark. They separate by reflection as much as by colour, so the contrast strengthens under a directed light and softens under a flat one.
Only if they are dragged. Brass is harder than the timbers a playing surface is made from, so place the pieces instead of sliding them and nothing will mark. Worth knowing before a fast game.
No. Small differences occur in the sweep of a curve or the depth of a collar. On curved forms that shows more than it would on a plain shape, so it is worth expecting.
34 chess pieces, the game array plus one extra queen in each colour so a promotion can be played with a proper queen. No board is included.
