Marble Chess Set
Shop marble chess sets by size
Board size is the first choice most buyers make — it decides where the set fits and how the pieces feel to play.
- 15-inch marble chess sets — the full-size boards. A 15-inch board with 1.5-inch squares and a 3.5-inch king, weighing around 17 pounds: the more commanding set for a dedicated table, study, or display.
- 12-inch marble chess sets — the compact boards. A 12-inch board with 1-inch squares and a 2.75-inch king, weighing about 7.3 pounds: easier to fit on a side table or shelf, lighter to move, and the closest option to a portable stone set.
Not sure which? If you have a dedicated spot and want presence, go 15-inch; if space is tight or you want to move the set around, go 12-inch. Both are complete 32-piece sets in solid stone.
Shop marble chess sets by style
- Marble chess sets with storage — sets that include a fitted carry case with an individual slot for every piece, so the board and all 32 pieces store and travel together. The practical choice if you'd rather stow the set between games than leave it out.
- Antique & figurative marble chess sets — hand-carved sets with detailed, characterful pieces for players who want the set to be as much a sculpture as a game.
- Chess pieces only — marble and onyx chess pieces on their own, without a board, for replacing a set you already own or pairing stone pieces with a board you have.
Shop marble chess sets by color
Because every set is natural stone, color is where the collection has the most range — from the classic contrast to warm and translucent stones you won't find in a printed board:
- Black & white — the timeless contrast, in solid marble. Available black-dominant or white-dominant, so you can choose which color leads the board.
- Green onyx — translucent banded stone that glows in the light, paired with white marble. See the green onyx & white set.
- Oceanic grey & white — cool, muted tones for a calmer board than stark black-and-white. See the grey & white set.
- Fossil coral — natural stone carrying the fossilized markings of ancient coral. See the black & fossil coral set.
- Coral & red, golden, and more — warmer and more unusual palettes across the range.
Why choose a marble chess set
| Marble & onyx | Wood | Plastic | |
|---|---|---|---|

| Weight & presence | Substantial stone heft | Moderate | Light |

| Piece-replacement service | Yes | Varies | Rarely |
A marble chess set is a different object from a folding wooden board or a plastic tournament set. It's solid natural stone — heavier, more durable in daily display, and unique to you because the veining is natural. It costs more than wood or plastic, and stone can chip on a hard knock, which is why every RADICALn set includes felt bottoms and a piece-replacement service. What you get in return is a set that plays well, lasts for years, and stays out as décor rather than living in a box.
What every RADICALn marble chess set includes
- A hand-carved, hand-polished board in solid natural marble or onyx, with an attached felt base.
- A full set of 32 hand-carved Staunton pieces — 2 kings, 2 queens, 4 bishops, 4 knights, 4 rooks, 16 pawns per set — with individual felt bottoms.
- Fragile-safe packaging built for shipping natural stone.
- A piece-replacement service — if a piece chips, we source a matching one in the same stone.
- Free US shipping and a 30-day return policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
A marble chess set is a chess set whose board and pieces are made from solid natural stone — marble, and in some sets translucent onyx — rather than wood or plastic. Each piece and board square is hand-carved and hand-polished, so every set is unique, with natural veining no two boards share. RADICALn marble chess sets are complete 32-piece sets with felt-backed boards and pieces.
It depends what you want. Marble gives you solid stone weight, a board that stays out as décor, and a set that's unique because the veining is natural. Wood is lighter and usually cheaper. Marble costs more and can chip on a hard knock, which is why every set here has felt bottoms and a piece-replacement service. If you want presence, durability on display, and a one-of-a-kind board, marble is the better choice; if you want the lightest, lowest-cost option, wood wins.
Choose by your space and how you'll use it. The 15-inch board (1.5-inch squares, 3.5-inch king, ~17 lb) has more presence and suits a dedicated table or display. The 12-inch board (1-inch squares, 2.75-inch king, ~7.3 lb) fits smaller tables and shelves and is easier to move.

Real, solid natural stone — marble, with onyx in some sets — not resin, not printed, not stone-effect. Because it's natural stone, each board's veining and colour are unique, and the set has genuine stone weight.
Solid stone. Each piece is hand-carved from a single piece of marble or onyx, which is what gives them their weight in the hand. They aren't weighted in the wood-set sense (no added base weight) — the heft is the stone itself.
Marble is durable in normal use, but like any natural stone it can chip if a piece is dropped on a hard floor. The boards are polished and hard-wearing; to protect them, every board and piece has a felt bottom, and we back every set with a piece-replacement service so a single chip doesn't retire the set. Avoid dragging pieces and don't let acids (like lemon or vinegar) sit on the surface.
It depends on the size. A 15-inch set weighs around 17 pounds (board plus pieces); a 12-inch set weighs about 7.3 pounds. Sets with a storage case weigh a little more with the case included.
Yes. Every board and piece is cut and polished from natural stone, so the veining, banding, and exact tone vary from set to set. Yours won't be a pixel-perfect copy of the product photo — that natural variation is the stone, not a flaw.
Onyx is a translucent, banded natural stone — light passes through it, so it glows softly and shows movement in the stone. Marble is opaque, with veining. Our green onyx sets pair translucent green onyx with white marble for a look no fully-opaque set can match.
Every set is a complete 32-piece chess set — 16 per side: 2 kings, 2 queens, 4 bishops, 4 knights, 4 rooks, and 16 pawns. Nothing extra to buy to start playing.
Yes. Every board has an attached felt base, and all 32 pieces have individual felt bottoms, so the set protects your table and the pieces don't scuff each other or the board during play.
Yes — that's our piece-replacement service. If a piece chips or breaks, contact us and we'll source a matching replacement in the same stone, so you don't have to replace the whole set.
Yes — see the chess pieces only collection. Those are marble and onyx chess pieces sold without a board, which is useful if you want to replace pieces on a set you already own or pair stone pieces with a board you have. Browse them in the chess pieces only collection.
The classic black-and-white marble set is the enduring favourite — it's the most recognisable chess look in solid stone. For something more distinctive, the green onyx sets stand out with their translucent glow. Browse both, plus the full colour range, in the collection above.
Start with size (15-inch for presence, 12-inch for smaller spaces), then colour (black-and-white for the classic look, green onyx or fossil coral for something unusual), then whether you want a storage case. If it's a gift, the classic black-and-white and the green onyx sets are the safest crowd-pleasers.

It's down to taste and where it'll sit. Black-and-white is the timeless classic and suits any room. Green onyx is the most striking, with its translucent glow. Oceanic grey is calm and cool for modern interiors, and fossil coral or coral & red bring warm, unusual tones. Every set is natural stone, so whichever you choose is unique to you.
Both. They're complete, playable 32-piece sets with full-scale pieces, and they're built to stay out as décor between games. The felt bottoms protect your table during play, and the stone means the set looks at home on a shelf or table when you're not using it.
Yes. The pieces are full playing scale — a 3.5-inch king on the 15-inch board, 2.75-inch on the 12-inch — with the standard Staunton shapes serious players expect. The 15-inch board in particular has the size and presence of a proper playing set.
Yes — they're standard chess sets, so they work for players of any level. Because the pieces are solid stone and can chip if dropped on a hard floor, they're best for children old enough to handle them with a little care.
Yes — see the sets with storage. Those include a fitted carry case with an individual slot for every piece, so the board and all 32 pieces store and travel together. Browse them in the sets with storage collection.
They're one of the best gifts for a chess player — substantial, lasting, and unique because the stone is natural. They suit birthdays, Father's Day, anniversaries, retirements, weddings, and housewarmings, and an executive or office gift where something that stays out on a desk works well. The classic black-and-white and the green onyx sets are the safest crowd-pleasers; a set with a storage case makes a complete, ready-to-give present.
Because it's solid natural stone, carved and polished by hand, with every board and piece felt-backed and each set unique. That takes more material and more work than a moulded plastic set or a machine-cut wooden one, and you get a heavier, more durable set that stays out as décor and is backed by a piece-replacement service. It's an investment in a set that lasts for years rather than a disposable board.
Wipe the board and pieces with a soft, dry or barely-damp cloth, and keep the stone dry. Skip soap and abrasive cleaners (porous stone can absorb them), don't let liquids or acids sit on the surface, handle pieces by the body rather than the carved tops, and store the pieces protected so edges don't chip. That's all the maintenance a marble set needs.
Natural marble and onyx hold up well indoors. As with any natural stone, keeping it out of constant harsh direct sun and keeping it dry is sensible for the long term, but normal room light and display are no problem — these sets are made to stay out.
Marble is shipped in fragile-safe packaging built for natural stone. In the rare event a piece is damaged in transit, our piece-replacement service will source a matching replacement in the same stone, so a shipping mishap doesn't cost you the set.
Yes — free US shipping on marble chess sets, shipped within the United States. Every order also comes with a 30-day return policy.
Yes — there's a 30-day return policy. If the set isn't right for you, you can return it within 30 days.
Choose marble for opaque, classic veined stone (black, white, grey, fossil coral and more) and green onyx for a translucent stone that glows in the light. Onyx is the more unusual, eye-catching choice; marble covers the classic and the widest colour range. Both are solid natural stone and equally playable.
These sets are hand-carved and hand-polished, which is why every board and piece is unique. A machine-made set is identical unit to unit. Handmade natural stone means slight, natural variation in veining and tone — that individuality is part of what you're buying.
Right here. This collection is the full RADICALn range of handmade marble and onyx chess sets — 12-inch and 15-inch boards, sets with storage, antique designs, and a wide range of natural stone colours, with free US shipping and 30-day returns.
