Replacement & Extra Marble Chess Pieces: Completing Your Set
Need marble chess pieces only? Replace a lost or damaged figure, or add a full extra set — handcrafted marble chess pieces that complete and upgrade any board.
A marble chess set is made to last a lifetime — but life happens. A pawn goes missing behind the sofa, a knight takes a fall, or you simply fancy a second colour of figures to change the mood of your board. The good news: you rarely need a whole new set. You just need the marble chess pieces.
This guide covers how to replace a lost or damaged piece, how to buy a full set of figures on their own, how to match pieces to your board, and how a little care keeps your heirloom complete for years to come.
You don't need a new set — just the pieces
That's the quiet beauty of genuine marble: it's built to be kept and passed on. When a single figure is lost or chipped, replacing the pieces rather than the whole set is kinder to your wallet, kinder to a treasured heirloom, and far less wasteful. Whether you need one piece or a complete new set of figures, buying marble chess pieces only keeps your board in play for the next generation.
Replacement marble chess pieces
Lost a piece or found a crack? Our replacement chess pieces are the affordable, made-to-match way to complete your set again — no need to replace the board or start from scratch. Simply match the colour of your existing figures, and your set is whole once more.
A full set of marble chess figures
Want a complete new set of pieces — to change colour, upgrade quality, or pair with a board you already own? A full set of 32 hand-carved marble figures (2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Knights, 4 Bishops, 4 Rooks, and 16 Pawns) does exactly that. Choose the classic black and white chess pieces, the multi-colour premium chess figures, or a warm red and coral set. Every figure carries the natural veining of genuine stone.
Matching pieces to your board
Getting the fit right matters. Our full figure sets are proportioned for larger boards — with a King around 3.5 inches, they suit 15 to 20-inch boards beautifully, and each piece's base is sized to sit cleanly within a square. For a cool, contemporary upgrade, the oceanic and verona upgrade pieces are made for exactly this. Buying just the board? Pair it with pieces from our full range of marble chess sets.

The best way to never need replacements
A little care means you'll rarely reach for a replacement at all. Keep the felt bottoms on your pieces to protect both stone and board, dust and wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth, and store them carefully — ideally in their box — when not in play. For the full routine, read our guides on maintaining a marble chess set and how to clean a marble chess set.
Conclusion
A missing pawn is no reason to retire a beautiful board. Whether you need a single replacement figure, a full set of pieces in a new colour, or an upgrade for a board you already treasure, buying marble chess pieces on their own keeps your set complete — and your heirloom in play — for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy marble chess pieces only, without a board?

Can I replace a single lost or broken chess piece?

What size boards do the pieces fit?
Our full figure sets are proportioned for larger boards — with a King around 3.5 inches, they suit 15 to 20-inch boards. If you have a smaller board, choose pieces scaled to match so each figure sits comfortably within a square.
What colours are available?
Marble chess pieces are available in classic black and white, black and coral, warm red and coral, and cool oceanic and verona tones — so you can match or refresh your board however you like.
Are the pieces made from real marble?
Yes. Every figure is hand-carved from genuine natural marble and hand-polished to reveal its unique veining, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
