Our Marble Process
We at Royal Bishop make sure our chess sets are of the highest standard for your luxury and elegant experience. Marble chess sets are a timeless classic that chess enthusiasts and collectors love. These beautiful sets are functional and serve as decorative pieces that can enhance the aesthetic appeal of any room. Following is our process of making marble chess sets, from the raw materials to the finished product.
Selecting the Marble
The first step in making a marble chess set is to select the type of marble you choose. Marble is a natural stone in various colors and patterns, making it a popular choice for chess sets. The marble is typically quarried from a mine and then transported to the factory, where it will be processed.
Cutting the Marble
Once the marble is chosen, it is time to cut it into the required shapes and sizes. It is then done using a saw fitted with a diamond blade. The diamond blade is used because it is tough and can cut through the tough marble. The saw is computer-controlled, ensuring that the pieces are cut to the specifications required for the chess set.
Shaping and Polishing the Marble
After the pieces have been cut, they are shaped and polished. It is done using a combination of hand tools and machines. The chess pieces are first shaped using a lathe, which rotates the marble and removes excess material. Once the chess pieces are in the right shape, they are polished using a series of grits, starting with a coarse grit and ending with a fine grit. This process creates a smooth, shiny surface on the marble.
Carving the Details
Once the basic shapes have been created and polished, the pieces are ready to be carved. It is where the details of the chess pieces are added. For example, the rooks may be carved into the shape of a castle, and the knights may be cut into the form of a horse. The carvings use hand tools and require a skilled artisan to create intricate details.
Assembly
Once all the pieces have been cut, shaped, polished, and carved, they are ready for assembly. The chess pieces are carefully placed in a box or container to protect them during transport. The chessboard is typically made separately from the chess pieces and may be made from various materials, such as wood or marble.
Conclusion
Making a marble chess set is time-consuming and requires skill and patience. Every step starting to the end is crucial for us at Royal Bishop to create a beautiful and functional chess set for you. These sets can be used for playing or decoration and will be treasured for years.
