Luxury Marble Chess Sets Novels & Stories

The chessboard slipped away through my hands, and I accidentally moved the cabinet, causing some things to fall down the floor. “I can handle this,” I told her from the living room. Some cards scattered on the floor, and some boxes opened. I took some time to identify which is which. I was in the middle of getting everything into places when I saw a familiar set of cards. It was the same cards she handed me before but with a different case. I looked at it and saw different figures printed on each card. I saw one or two were labeled as King and Muse, and some are labeled with Musketeers, Philosophers, Shadows, and Rocks. I’m not really familiar with this kind of game, and it was the first tim

She lifted it with both hands, the hinges sighing softly as she opened it. Inside, a travel chess set — the kind built before plastic existed. The board folded in half; the pieces fit neatly into felted grooves, each one carved imperfectly by hand. The white pawn was a shade closer to ivory than the others, a quiet imperfection that had always made her father smile. Siena carried it to the table and set it down, unfolding the board until the tiny brass hinges clicked into place. Adriano looked up from the armchair where he’d been half-reading, half-thinking. He tilted his head slightly, curiosity overtaking the stillness in his posture.

“But as we suspected, he's disappeared. Left this behind.” Marcus pulled a navy Smythson envelope from the pocket of his Brunello Cucinelli suit. Inside, a piece of paper in Professor Maharani's elegant handwriting: To my beloved children, You think you've won? This is just the opening. I have positioned every chess piece on this board since you were born. And remember - in the Maharani family game, nothing is truly white or black. See you in the next game. - Papa. “Shit,” Marcus swore under his breath. “He had it all planned out. Even Alexandra's betrayal.”

I said to make her feel slightly better but she turned around and looked me in the eye, and smirked. "Bad luck? Was it mine or yours?" she said and I was confused. She moved her flare of the gown to the side in a second and the chess board and pieces were all on the floor broken. This chessboard was the most costly-looking one I have ever seen. The intricate design and the jewels on it were now broken and on the floor. I have a good eye for jewelry; I can tell it is real gold and platinum used in it. But she didn't care and left.

She adds another cup, “Take a seat, do you mind if I call you Mason? Mr Mason sounds kind of weird.” “I will appreciate that,” I smile at her, my neck hot, “I'm not even that old and it's too official.” “You are right.” I settle on the stool and let my eyes look around. This is a multi-billion house and it looks like it has been here for generations. The materials for the furniture are rare in the market or too expensive to purchase. The flower vases are ceramic eyedrop vases from Japan. It is across the coast and the floor marbles are unspeakable.

Steven and Henry were playing a game of chess, and the chessboard was one of Charles' prized collections. Charles raised an eyebrow slightly as he helped Noelle walk in. "Where did you find that?" Steven narrowed his eyes. "Charles, you've been hiding this gem?" This chessboard was made of high-quality wood from the Mildfred Era, preserved with various spices and anti-corrosive materials. Charles had originally acquired it from an auction in Capiton, intending to keep it in his collection. He had not expected Steven and Henry to unearth it today.

“For a man who already owns everything.” Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “That does narrow things.” I picked up a crystal decanter, weighed it in my hands, then set it down. “He has a cellar that could supply a small country.” She laughed. “Something symbolic, then. A keepsake.” I reached for a fountain pen—beautiful, heavy, unmistakably expensive. Considered it. Put it back. “Too… solitary.” A chess set caught my eye next. I opened the lid, admired the pieces, then shook my head. “He’d appreciate it. But it doesn’t feel like a wedding gift.”

I glanced down at the table, unable to hold his intent gaze and my eyes fell upon the chess board that had been set in the middle. Curiosity alighted in my gaze as I took the set in; a beautiful work of art that had each piece cut so uniquely and precisely— like little humans instead of the normal chess pieces I saw. It looked carved from wood but I couldn't be too certain, not until I held it within my fingers. The pieces were a deep burgundy underneath but they were painted over with reds, blues, and whites that firmly indicated their role in the game. The King and Queen, Bishops, Knights, and pawns, all had detailed, figurine features and we're quite easily discernible. One side wore whit

Edward casually took a seat; Jacky and Ninth Princess sat nearby, watching the chess game. This chessboard was a treasure of the Princess's palace. The entire board was carved from a single piece of pure white and flawless jade, emitting a gentle radiance, intermingling with the green to create an enchanting contrast that made it hard to look away. Gold threads separated the squares, casting a golden glow that instantly identified them as pure gold of the highest quality. The chess pieces were made of gold and placed on the jade board, sparkling like tiny suns. The appearance of this exquisite and precious chess set in the Princess's palace reflected King Lycan's affection for her. Edward sm

Luca whispered, "I officially understand where all the missing money went." Even Alexander couldn't hide his surprise. "This estate..." "It's beyond extravagant." The Patron smiled. "I built it over thirty years." "One stone at a time." --- Eventually... They entered an enormous circular hall. Its ceiling stretched nearly twenty meters high. At the center stood a giant chessboard carved into white and black marble. Every piece was life-sized. Kings. Queens. Knights. Bishops. All crafted from polished stone. The Patron slowly walked to the black king. "This..."
