The Sydney Gruber’s Painted Chess Collection (249$–599$)
When it comes to unique chess sets, you really can’t get any better than this. Each set in this collection is hand-painted by the artist and completely one of a kind. If you buy one of Sydney Gruber’s unique chess sets, you can be assured that no one else in the world will have the same one as yours. Most people you meet will probably have never even seen one like it!
The Sydney Gruber’s Painted Chess Collection includes many cool chess sets of all different colors and styles, but if you see one that you like, you’ll need to act quickly to buy it before someone else does, since none of the designs are repeated. You’d hate to miss out on the perfect one of a kind chess set!
This rare chess set collection is exclusively available at Chess House, through their collaboration with the artist Sydney Gruber. Sydney is a lifelong chess enthusiast and artist in residence at the Kentuck Art Center. She creates her unique works of art on chess sets using a layering technique that puts colors on top of colors for a uniquely beautiful finished product.

These awesome chess sets are available with only the painted pieces on a regular board, but we recommend springing for the full experience – the painted chessmen, board, and box. Since each set is produced by one artist working alone, sometimes the fully customized chess set goes out of stock
.
Sydney is a full-time studio artist working out of Kentuck Art Center and enjoys being a part of this contemporary art renaissance.
Her work embodies the philosophy of recognizing the underlying beauty of layers—the potential—with immense attention to detail and depth play within the hues to encourage joy. Through vision and revision, her artistic endeavors crafted a personal panache signature.
She creates mostly abstract meditation paintings both large and small but also identifies as an alchemy artist rejuvenating home décor by giving them new life. Through organized chaos and captured energy, Sydney invites you into her world of motion and emotion through the mirror of art and hopes to bring a warm personal touch to your home.
