The history behind this King Arthur & Camelot chess set

The stirring legends of King Arthur have been woven into the fabric of British folklore for centuries, capturing imaginations with tales of heroism, romance, and mysticism. According to legend, Arthur was a noble king who, with the guidance of the wizard Merlin, united the kingdoms of Britain during the tumultuous early medieval period. His court at Camelot became the epicenter of chivalric adventure, where the Knights of the Round Table embarked on quests to uphold justice and seek out the elusive Holy Grail.

Central to these tales is the Round Table itself, a symbol of equality where Arthur's knights met as equals, devoid of hierarchical seating. Figures like Sir Lancelot, renowned for his unparalleled bravery and complicated love for Queen Guinevere, and Merlin, whose wisdom and magic shaped the fate of kingdoms, have become timeless icons - even making there way into numerous bits of modern media. Studio Anne Carlton’s King Arthur & Camelot handmade chess set perfectly blends the intellectual challenge of chess with the enchanting allure of myth and legend.
