This Berkeley Chess Cavaliers vs Roundheads Chess Set brings the drama of the English Civil War of 1642-1651 to the board. Made in solid stone blended with resin, each piece has reassuring weight and detail. The white side represents the Cavaliers, loyal to the monarchy and known for elegant dress and plumed hats; the Red side portrays the Roundheads, the disciplined Parliamentarian forces recognised for their simpler armour and plain attire. The King stands 4 inches tall, giving the set presence without overwhelming your board.
With warm cream/ivory and Red tones, this set reflects a defining moment in British history — a struggle that helped shape the balance between crown and Parliament.
Chess pieces only; board not included. We recommend a board with squares of 2 inches or larger for best display and play.
