Berd Vay'e, the New York-based artisans, recently launched a new chess-themed art series, appropriately titled the 'Checkmate Collection.' The luxurious new capsule includes six life-sized pieces from the royal chess court including the Pawn, the Knight, the Bishop, the Rook, the Queen of Parts (Queen), and the Grand Master (King).
The inspiration for creating the unique art collection comes from the childhoods of the creators. “Chess is a mind game that requires time and strategy. It is very complex, like the foundations of watchmaking. Growing up, it was our favorite
sport and pastime, the way baseball and football are in America.” says Berd Vay’e co-founder and artisan Eddie Kurayev.
Each Checkmate sculpture is individually sold ranging from $7,500.00-$10,800.00 USD.
