Product Description

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous private detective, Sherlock Holmes, is featured as the King in this remarkable chess set. Beautifully handcrafted and hand decorated. The characters are based on original drawings that appeared in Strand Magazine in 1890 to accompany the Sherlock Holmes stories. In this magnificent chess set, Mr. Holmes and Doctor Watson face their greatest adversary, Professor Moriarty, across the chess board. Also featured are Mrs. Hudson, Inspector Lestrade, Irene Adler, Colonel Moran, and the infamous Hound of the Baskervilles.

Hand crafted of ground natural stone, and hand decorated by the professional artists of Studio Anne Carlton, this finely detailed chess set makes a beautiful and decorative statement for the home or office. New, in original factory package. All SAC chess sets are packaged in fitted presentation boxes, and are supplied with printed parchment story sheets which give the history of the set and details of the characters.

Studio Anne Carlton chess pieces are highly sought after in the collectible markets. The fact that these highly prized pieces are completely hand made greatly limits production. Consequently many of the earlier sets are returning substantial prices when appearing in secondary markets. The sets are avidly collected by enthusiasts all over the world.
