The Spirit and the Legend
Created by two enthusiasts of art and chess, our brand's name echoes a forgotten legend. Les Échiquiers du Roi, meaning "The King's Chessboards" in English, tells the tale of a traveling monarch and passionate collector.
Throughout his journeys and encounters, this king assembled an extraordinary collection of chess sets, each showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and sumptuous aesthetics.
Although this collection remains a legend, it inspired our founders with a vision.
Thus, Les Échiquiers du Roi was born, a vibrant homage to this royal collection lost in the mists of time, brought to life by our founders' interpretation. Learn more about our creation process and watch our video.
