Metals Used In Our Chess Sets
The two metals used to make our fine metal chess sets are brass and nickel. These fine metals lend themselves well to the production of chessmen. One key aspect is how they age over time. These sets are of a quality that means they will be around for many decades. There are two production methods to making the chessmen, the first is lathe turning which is by far the most expensive way to make them. The results are however well worth the price. The other method involves casting the chessmen, which has the benefit of allowing the creation of fine detail and decoration.
