The Indian-American luxury series chess set is one of our most popular luxury chess sets, and all the versions of it have been hugely successful, though it was not the first one that made the greatest splash in our best seller category. Following the success of our original Indian-American luxury series chess set, we have introduced the limited Edition Indian-American Luxury Series Chess Set in Bud Rose / Box Wood – 4.3″ King. Borrowed its ferocious look and aggression from its elder sibling Indian-American series, the Limited Edition version doesn’t fail to impress any décor lover.

Things have really been getting heated during the last month when we introduced the Excalibur luxury artisan series chess set in ebony & boxwood – 4.6″ king. The knight of this chess set is inspired by the sword of the legendary King Arthur. The sweeping mane and distinctive head shape give the knight aggressive and ready-to-attack look. The King proudly stands at 4.6 inches and its base is robust 1.9 inches. This is a luxury design featuring the magnificently robust and solitary knight. Know More>>
At first look most likely you will think that Shera V2.0 is nothing more than the expensive version of the previous generation Shera series, but 2.0 has gone way beyond that and offers heirloom quality and quite impressive design in a budget-friendly package of only $359.99 for bud rosewood version. King height has been reduced to 4.1″ with a wider base diameter of 1.88″ for better stability. 1st generation Shera series chess pieces were the archetype of perfection in our luxury series. So making it more perfect was really difficult for us, that is why we have borrowed its elegant look and most of the design elements from its previous generation.
