The Sterling Chess 38cm Coral & Red Marble Chess Set is the warmest and most earthy chess set in our marble range. Each square of the 38 x 38cm board is hand-cut from genuine coral and deep red marble, and every piece is hand-carved from the same two marbles to match. The result is a chess set with a rich, natural warmth that no other variant in the range matches — a marble chess set with genuine personality.
Genuine marble chess pieces feel fundamentally different to wood or plastic in hand. Each piece carries the dense, substantial weight that marble alone produces, with subtle variations in colour and grain that no two pieces ever fully share. The double-weighted base of each piece keeps it stable through every move, and the polished marble finish develops a quiet patina over time that catches light beautifully on the board.
For chess players who want a marble set with warmth and character — something distinctive that stands apart from the classical black-and-white aesthetic — this is the most characterful option in the Sterling Chess marble range.
Marble has been the material of choice for the world's finest chess sets for centuries. It is dense, naturally beautiful, holds fine detail under carving, and has the kind of permanence that no synthetic material can replicate. Each piece in this set is hand-carved from solid marble, with natural variation in colour and grain that gives every piece its own subtle character. This is one of the genuine pleasures of owning a real marble chess set.
The coral used in this set has a warm, peachy tone with subtle natural variation from softer pink-coral through to richer salmon. The red is a deep, earthy red with darker veining throughout — not a primary red, but a natural marble red with depth and warmth. Set against each other on the board, the two materials produce a chess set with genuine warmth, character, and natural earthiness that the black-and-white and blue variants do not match.
Each piece is hand-carved to the classic Staunton design, with the proportions and silhouettes that make a chess set immediately recognisable. The 89mm king height with the 38cm board produces the correct proportional relationship for FIDE-aligned play — pieces sit naturally on each square with comfortable room for movement.
The piece weights reflect the density of real marble:
The pieces are double-weighted with felt bases for smooth, quiet movement on the marble board.
Every Sterling Chess marble set ships with a premium storage box featuring a carry handle and metal lock clips. The fitted interior secures each piece in place during transport or storage, preventing pieces from knocking against each other and the marble from chipping. The metal lock clips give the closure mechanism a genuinely premium feel — this is a storage solution built to match the quality of the set itself.
Sterling Chess offers four 38cm marble chess sets, each with a distinct character:
The Oceanic & White is the softer, less dramatic alternative with cream white and oceanic blue.
The White & Black is the most graphic and classical of the range — the timeless chess aesthetic.
The Coral & Red (this set) is the warmest and most earthy of the range, with rich coral and deep red marble producing a set with natural warmth and visual character.
The White & Oceanic is the brightest of the range, with cream white dominating and oceanic blue as the contrasting dark side.
The Sterling Chess 38cm Coral & Red Marble Chess Set is the right choice for buyers who want a marble chess set with genuine warmth and character. The coral and red pairing is unlike anything else in our range — earthy, warm, and distinctly characterful, with the kind of natural visual depth that only real marble can deliver. The double-weighted pieces feel substantial in hand, the felt bases keep movement quiet, and the premium storage box with metal lock clips ensures the set stores away properly between sessions. For players and collectors who want a marble chess set that stands apart from the classical black-and-white aesthetic, this is the most distinctive option in our range.

Yes. Every piece in the set is hand-carved from solid genuine marble — coral marble for the light pieces and deep red marble for the dark pieces.
Yes. The 38 x 38cm board features squares hand-cut from the same coral and red marble used in the pieces.
Yes. The pieces are double-weighted for stability and a confident feel during play.
The king stands between 8.5 and 8.89cm tall (approximately 89mm), with FIDE-aligned proportions when paired with the 38cm board.
The set includes the full marble chess board (38 x 38cm), all 32 hand-carved marble pieces, and the premium storage box with carry handle and metal lock clips.
Marble benefits from gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and avoidance of harsh chemicals. Avoid leaving the set in direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the colour of the marble. Store in the included premium box when not in use to protect from dust and accidental damage.
The Coral & Red is the warmest and most earthy of the five Sterling Chess marble sets, using genuine coral and red marble for a set with natural warmth and character. The other variants use oceanic blue, cream white, and black marbles in various combinations for cooler or more classical aesthetics.
