Vanguard chessmen are inspired from an idea to create something new, which is at the forefront of ingenuity.
Beautifully handpainted by expert painters of Northern India, the design confirms to the classical staunton proportions with a twist of innovation.
Painting these pieces is a matter of great skill, with each set often taking more than 2 days to be finished.
