Luxury Chess Boards taken to a new level of plush

Purling London specialises in designing luxury Chess sets and other games. TheLondonEconomic.com was invited to take a look out their critically acclaimed, contemporary Chess boards.  The boards are hand-manufactured against vivid colour, abstract art and theatrical illumination and really wouldn’t look out of place in an art gallery.

One thing is for sure, the boards are art and would make a wonderful gift for chess enthusiasts and art collectors alike.  Perhaps the type of present for the person who has everything.

Luxury Chess Boards And Sets Make The Ideal Gift For Enthusiasts

Chess is a practice that requires great skill, enthusiasm and a love for the game if you are really going to become a master expert and start to beat your opponents, on both a national and international scale. Of course, not everyone that loves chess wants to take part in tournaments and worldwide events, some just want to sit back at home and play with family and friends.

No matter your level of interest in competing, any chess player will understand that playing chess is a passion and a challenge that can continually evolve, with every game bringing a deeper understanding of the game and helping to evolve strategy and tactics, which can then be used in the next game, and the next and the next and so on. The knowledge of the game continually expands with every game you play and some would argue, with every loss can come a greater learning lesson than with a win.

But win, lose, draw or simply practice, there is simply nothing better than playing your game of chess on a luxury chess board, or with a complete luxury chess set, as the game of chess will seem a whole lot more enjoyable when you place your hands on one of these stunning, designer and sought-after master pieces.

Luxury chess sets simply must be seen and used to be truly appreciated, from the designer marble chess boards, through to some stunning boards that light up and shine whilst playing, a luxury chess set really does make playing the game feel so, so special. Imagine your favourite game with a unique set of chess pieces, that have been designed by one of the world’s leading designers and you will only find a selection of these sets available worldwide – this is when you will really understand why a luxury chess board is worth every penny that you pay for it.

 

Why go for Luxury?

Luxury gifts are of course not for everyone. They are generally more expensive as you are paying for a high quality, often semi-unique luxury item, which is why when you compare a luxury item to its standard equivalent, you are going to have to pay a bit or a lot more. But then, this is the same for anything, if you can afford a luxury item then you know that you are going to pay for it, as luxury, high quality items are more expensive as you are paying for something that is, put simply, the best.

Luxury gifts are often gifts that the receiver will remember, use or look at in joyous wonder for ever more, which is why if you have a family member, close friend or colleague that simply loves chess, then what better present than a luxury chess set or chess board? Imagine the joy, the delight, the immense satisfaction when they receive a unique, handcrafted chess set that they will be able to not only enjoy for ever more, but that is also something that has immense value, both monetary and emotional – a gift beyond all gifts, you could say.

Luxury often lasts longer than standard, and the thought and commitment that goes into making a brand or product worthy of the label, luxury, is of course high, but the attention to detail is often what really makes something suitable for the luxury tag. Luxury often means different things to different people, which is why when you buy a chess enthusiast or professional a luxury chess board or chess set, then you can rest assured that you are buying them a gift that will be treasured, adored and used, giving you the immense satisfaction that you did right by investing in luxury, and that yes, this word really does mean a lot.
