Art Chess – Hand Painted Chess Sets
Art Chess by Purling London are individually hand painted by specially commissioned British and international artists and no two sets are the same. From established figures to rising stars of the contemporary art scene, Purling has collaborated with over 30 artists to date, including Sophie Matisse, Thierry Noir, Kate Brinkworth, Inkie and Mr. Doodle.

We regularly create Art Chess sets to our client’s specification, with their preferred artist and colour palette. Often customers wish to celebrate a personal memory, theme or their corporate brand through the design. Others wish to complement their home’s interior or even match the paint of their classic car. We work closely with our client and their chosen artist to produce the perfect chess set.
Typically we offer 4 inch bespoke Art Chess sets on a 55cm hand-painted or Bird’s eye Maple board, however these pieces can also be matched with a borderless 45cm board. Lead time is typically 10-12 weeks. Please enquire via our contact form below and we will revert back shortly to assist you.
