Lodhi Sports is proud to offer you the reproduction of the very rare Circa 1780 Thai chess set, The Makruk Chess Set Pieces in 2.5” King Height. The above are the original pictures taken from the National Museum of Thailand for the reproduction of this rare chess set, and we have tried our best to closely replicate the original ivory pieces of the Makruk Chess Set. The mesmerizing detail of each piece is consistently perfect, and this reproduction is crafted by our most skilled craftsmen. This replica of the original vintage Makruk chess set is made with exact dimensions and detailed craftsmanship.
An accurate reproduction of The Makruk Chess Set is crafted from Gilded Red Boxwood and Natural Boxwood. The reproduction of these heirloom chess pieces is a challenging endeavor, requiring precise dimensions and craftsmanship. We have always dedicated our efforts to maintaining quality and the high standard of workmanship on antique chess sets respectfully.
The meticulous workmanship on the Knights, featuring complete details such as eyes, detailed nostrils, teeth, jaw, and splendid craftsmanship on the carved mane—even the fallen tongue—is achieved with remarkable precision. The height of the knight is 1/8” taller than the king, identical to the original knight’s height. The noticeable craftsmanship on the queen, which is shorter in height compared to the other pieces, remains true to the original Thai chess set design. Without any doubt, this exclusive reproduction of the Thai chess set is exceptional.
The chess pieces are hand-carved by our skilled master craftsmen and crafted from the highest grade exotic woods with luxurious billiard cloth base pads. The chess set is weighted and finished with natural hand polish for a rich, long-lasting shine. It also includes two extra queens.
Total 34 Chess Pieces. (Includes Two Extra Queens)
