Alice in Wonderland Chess Set and Jewellery Collection

In Through the Looking-Glass, the spellbinding sequel to Lewis Carroll’s first novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice finds herself yet again, hopelessly trapped in the absurdist kingdom from Carroll's original tale. This time, in a realm made up of chess boards and chess pieces, ruled by a Red Queen only slightly less formidable than the last royal Alice encountered on her journey into Wonderland.

Indeed, chess isn’t just a fleeting theme of Carroll’s second book, it makes up the novel’s entire structure. A game in the real world so reliant on logic and reason; in the world of the Looking-glass, it’s anything but. While freethinking pieces move under some semblance of traditional rules, their patterns are full of contradictions and impossibilities that Alice does well to navigate.

Happily for you, dear reader, you won’t need to bend the rules of logic to enjoy our utterly unique Alice in Wonderland Pewter Chess Set. Just like the garden sculptures, water features and miniatures in our collection, this handcrafted set has been inspired by the many and varied characters from Lewis Carroll’s famous novel. A wonderful gift for lovers of both the classic game and the enduring tale of Alice and her adventures.

Capturing Alice, The Dodo, the White Rabbit, and, of course, the Queen of Hearts, each handcrafted figure is carefully rendered to bring the enchanting world of Wonderland to life. Solid, weighty, and beautifully intricate, each piece is mounted on a circular base and felted to protect the polished hardwood board. The entire range of figures is presented in a handmade wooden box to create a memorable chess set for the ages.
