The Maharaja Brass Chess Figures

A sculptural set of oversized chess figures, cast in Pure Solid Brass and finished by hand — the crowned King, the poised Bishop, and the spirited Knight, each rendered with intricate detail from the fluted columns to the ornate crown and flowing mane.

Far more than a game, these are statement objects. Group them together on a console or mantel for a bold, collected display, or let each stand alone as a piece of sculpture. Their scale and weight bring a sense of grandeur to any setting — a play on tradition, reimagined as décor.

Handcrafted, and never exactly alike — subtle variations in finish and tone are the mark of the maker's hand.

Care

Brass is a living material — it deepens and shifts in tone over time, and that patina is part of its beauty. 

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep the detailing clean.
• For a gentle clean, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately — never leave moisture sitting on the brass.
• To revive shine, use a natural polish (a little lemon and salt, or a mild brass cleaner) sparingly, then buff dry with a soft cloth. Take care to work polish out of the fine carved details.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers, which can scratch the surface.
• Keep away from prolonged damp to prevent tarnishing.

With a little care, these pieces will only grow more beautiful with age.
