Shakespeare Chess Set
The Shakespeare & The Globe chess set brings to life the golden age of Elizabethan theatre, honouring the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare. This remarkable set was inspired by the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 2016, celebrating the profound impact of his works on literature, theatre, and culture. Each piece is a tribute to the Bard himself and the vibrant characters that graced his plays, offering a timeless connection to 16th-century London and its theatrical marvels.
Studio Anne Carlton has meticulously crafted this set to capture the essence of the Globe Theatre and the figures who shaped Shakespeare’s stories. From the iconic Globe as the Rook to the famed characters that embody his wit and drama, this chess set is a journey into the heart of one of the most influential periods in literary history.
Each piece in this Shakespeare chess set is a miniature work of art, capturing the drama, wit, and imagination of the Bard’s masterpieces. Shakespeare himself takes centre stage as the King, supported by iconic characters from his plays. The Globe Theatre serves as a fitting Rook, while pawns in the form of skulls and roses add a theatrical flair. Together, these pieces transform your chessboard into a stage where strategic battles meet timeless storytelling.

The Bishop is portrayed with a mitre and crozier, symbolising the religious influence of the medieval church.
