    I've searched high and low for a set of chessmen made of marble with a 7 inch King and have not been able to find one.  I have a large, beautiful marble table and half a set of chessmen that I cannot use.  Can anyone help?!  Thanks!

    Could you post a picture of the board? That would help readers know more what you are looking for.

    I didn't realize I could post pictures!  Here is what I have.  Those are all the remaining white pieces... as you can see, it's sort of a mismatch...

    What a beautiful board! Do you know the square dimensions? Also, is there something that you could put there so I could see the relative size of the board? E.g. Hand on king

    BTW, 7" is huge!

    Looking online, I think you're going to need some homemade pieces. I'm sure there are some people in the forums that'd do it, though.

    Thank you, I have never seen another board I liked better.  It is real marble set on an iron table frame, complete with matching chairs.  You can imagine my horror when I picked up the box containing my white pieces and watched them fall and shatter on the tile floor.  The square dimensions are 2.75 inches.  I used a dollar because hand size is relative, too :)  I know 7 inches is an oddly large size - the biggest I've found is 6 and they were generally themed pieces, which I don't want.  Anyway, I'd love to find someone who can do a homemade set of marble pieces.  Please let me know if you can help!!
