Coral & Red Antique Marble Chess Set — 15-Inch | Medieval Figurative Style

This set includes 33 items total: one 15 × 15-inch natural marble chess board (fossil coral stone light squares, red marble dark squares and frame, antique-treated surface), 32 hand-carved antique-finish chess figures — 16 in fossil coral stone and 16 in deep red marble (2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Bishops, 4 Knights, 4 Rooks, and 16 Pawns) — one free storage box, individual felt bottoms for all 32 figures, and RADICALn branded secure fragile packaging. The figures are carved in medieval figurative style, not standard Staunton form.

Both sets share the same medieval figurative piece style, hand-distressed antique finish, 15-inch board dimensions, and free storage box. The difference is entirely colour and stone character. The Black & White Antique uses cool, high-contrast black and white marble — dramatic and striking. The Coral & Red Antique uses warm fossil coral stone and deep red marble — earthy, warm, and organic. The fossil coral figures carry genuine preserved marine organism patterns unique to each piece, giving the coral set a geological character the black and white set does not have. Choose Black & White for dramatic cool aesthetics; choose Coral & Red for warm, earthy, rustic, or organic material interiors.

The board measures 15 × 15 inches (38 × 38 cm) with a thickness of 0.1 inches. Figure heights: King — 3.75 inches, Queen — 3.25 inches, Bishop — 2.5 inches, Knight — 2.75 inches, Rook — 2.5 inches, Pawn — 2.25 inches. The complete set weighs 10.5 lbs. Compatible with standard 15 to 18-inch chess boards.

Fossil coral is a sedimentary stone formed from the compressed and mineralised remains of ancient coral reef organisms over hundreds of millions of years. The warm beige-tan base colour with dark brown fossil organism patterns is the natural surface of the stone — no dyes or coatings are applied. The fossil impressions visible on each coral figure are the genuine outlines of ancient marine organisms preserved in rock. Because each figure is cut from a different section of stone, the specific fossil arrangement on every coral piece is unique — no two coral figures in the set carry the same pattern. This makes each piece a genuine geological specimen as well as a functional chess figure.

Medieval figurative style — not standard Staunton. The antique collection uses historically-inspired figurative forms where each piece type is represented as a distinct human or animal character: robed kings and queens, ecclesiastical bishops, mounted knight forms, castle guardian rooks, and standing warrior pawns. Every type is fully identifiable during play. The warm fossil coral and red marble stones give the medieval figures an archaeological, excavated quality — as though the pieces came from an ancient site rather than a contemporary workshop.

Yes. This set includes a free luxury storage box at no extra cost. The storage box holds the board and all 32 figures securely between uses and serves as complete gifting presentation packaging — no additional wrapping is required. All RADICALn antique sets include a storage box.

The warm earthy tones of fossil coral and red marble suit: rustic and farmhouse interiors (warm wood, stone, natural materials), transitional and traditional homes with warm neutral palettes, old world and European heritage styles (Tuscan, French country, English manor), dark academia spaces with leather and dark wood, maximalist interiors where each object has visual depth and warmth, medieval and historical-inspired rooms, and organic modern spaces where natural materials anchor the design. The warm coral and red combination reads very differently from black and white — it belongs in spaces where warmth, texture, and natural materials are the design language.

The Coral & Red Antique is the most seasonally appropriate chess set in the RADICALn collection for Thanksgiving and autumn gifting. The warm beige-tan of fossil coral and the deep red of red marble map directly onto the harvest and autumn colour palette — earthy, warm, and rich with a free storage box, it is a premium Thanksgiving gift for a chess player, history enthusiast, or natural stone collector. For delivery in time for Thanksgiving, order at least 7 to 10 days before the holiday for our standard 4 to 9 business day US shipping window.

Yes. The Coral & Red Antique is an excellent Father's Day gift for a chess-playing father who appreciates geological objects, medieval history, or warm natural materials. The fossil coral figures are genuine preserved marine specimens — each one unique — giving the gift a scientific dimension that no standard chess set has. The medieval figurative piece style connects to a specific historical tradition. The storage box makes it presentation-ready. It sits in the premium Father's Day gift range for a chess enthusiast or collector.

Because each chess figure is cut from a different section of fossil coral stone, the specific arrangement of fossil organism impressions, the intensity of the dark brown patterning, and the warmth of the base tone varies piece by piece. No two coral figures in the set are identical. A replacement piece from the same stone variety will match the fossil coral type and approximate colour, but will carry a different specific fossil arrangement — this is the defining nature of genuine geological material. The variation is a feature, not an inconsistency: each piece is a unique natural object.

Wipe fossil coral figures with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately — fossil coral is a sedimentary stone and slightly more porous than metamorphic marble, making prompt drying especially important. Never use acid-based cleaners (vinegar, lemon juice, bleach) as these damage the stone surface permanently. Do not attempt to polish away the antique distressed finish — it is intentional and will deepen in character with regular handling. Store figures separated in the storage box or soft cloth bags between uses. Contact us if a figure is damaged — our replacement service will source a matching antique-finish fossil coral or red marble figure.

Both antique sets use fossil coral stone as one of their two stones. The key difference is the contrasting stone. The Black & Coral Antique pairs fossil coral with deep black marble — high contrast, more dramatic, with the black figures providing a bold counterpoint to the warm coral. The Coral & Red Antique pairs fossil coral with deep red marble — both stones are warm, creating a more harmonious, earthy, and rustic overall appearance. Choose Black & Coral for dramatic contrast with warmth; choose Coral & Red for a fully warm, earthy palette with no cool stone contrast.

Yes. The medieval figurative figures are carved to represent each chess piece type unambiguously — every figure is immediately identifiable during play. The 15-inch board provides comfortable playing space, the 10.5 lb weight keeps the board stable, and the felt-bottomed figures sit cleanly on the antique board surface. The warm-toned colour contrast between coral figures and red figures is clear enough for active play. Many buyers use the antique set for regular home games as well as permanent display.
