Hand Decorated Civil War Pewter Chess Pieces

This beautiful set depicts the conflict of the American Civil War (1861–1865) that took place in response to the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. Immediately after his election, 11 southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, known as “The Confederacy” for short.

Pewter is a soft-metal ideal for making high-detail chess sets. It is heavy, giving the pieces a nice weight, and because of its malleablility, it is very durable. Pewter Chess Pieces, both painted and unpainted, are well regarded as some of the best chess pieces, be it for the chess enthusiast or the average individual looking to make an artistic statement in their home.

Let your imagination loose with our huge selection of figurine chess pieces. Each Chess Piece is individually hand-painted with meticulous detail and crafted.
