Most of this brass range is gold against grey. This one is metallic silver against antiqued copper, and the copper is what makes it worth a second look.
It reads warm and slightly weathered, never bright, so the board has an aged, lived-in quality that a polished finish never gives you.
The pieces are tall and slender, with a 107mm king, so the set has real reach without the bulk a metal army usually carries. It looks lighter than it is.
Metal behaves differently from timber on a board. It returns the light instead of absorbing it, so every edge and every change of curve is picked out under a lamp in a way a polished wooden set never manages.
Look for it in our metal chess pieces.
The copper is the reason to buy this one.
An antiqued finish is not uniform by design. It shifts across the surface of each piece, so the dark army has depth and variation where a plain metallic colour would be flat.
Against metallic silver that reads as warmth more than contrast, which makes the board feel softer and older than a gold and grey set does.
The proportions help. The pieces are drawn tall and narrow, so a metal army that could easily look heavy instead looks poised, and it does not crowd a board the way a broad based set would.
These pieces suit mid sized boards, with squares of 45mm to 55mm, and 55mm is the size we would choose. On 45mm the rook covers over seven tenths of its square and the corners tighten noticeably.
Brass is a different thing to own from timber, and mostly in good ways.
There is nothing to check or split, so dry air is not the concern it would be on a wooden army.
It is also cooler to the touch and heavier for its size, which some players love and others take a game or two to get used to.
The one thing to know is that the finish is a surface. Care is a dry soft cloth and nothing else.
Avoid metal polishes and abrasive creams in particular. An antiqued finish is deliberately uneven, and a polish will even it out and take the character with it.
Keep the pieces dry and out of damp storage, and they will look the way they arrived.
Beyond that it asks for very little.
This is the one to add if you already own a good timber set and want something completely different for the other side of the room. It is not a replacement for a wooden army; it is a different pleasure altogether.
The copper is what sells it. Gold and grey brass sets are handsome but they all look related; this pairing is warmer and considerably more unusual, and it suits an older room better.
The honest caveat is that a metal set is not to everyone's taste in play. It is cool in the hand and it makes a different sound on the board. If timber is what you want, look through our wood chess pieces range.

45mm to 55mm squares, and 55mm is the size we would choose. On 45mm the rook covers over seven tenths of its square and the corners tighten.
It is warmer and less uniform. The antiqued copper shifts across each piece, so the board looks aged where a flat finish would look newly made. It suits an older room better.
It is how the pattern is drawn. The rook is short and broad where the king is tall and narrow, and the contrast between the two is deliberate.
A dry soft cloth only. Avoid metal polish and abrasive cream in particular, because the copper is an antiqued finish and polishing will flatten it out.
The complete 34 pieces come to 1,560 grams. That is substantial in the hand but still quick to move, because the bodies are slim.
34 pieces, including one extra queen per colour so a promotion is always covered. No board is included, so that is chosen separately to suit.
