Weighted Chess Set For Sale on 1stDibs

With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the weighted chess set you’re looking for. A weighted chess set — often made from wood, hardwood and boxwood — can elevate any home. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect weighted chess set — we have versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A weighted chess set, designed in the mid-century modern or Victorian style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. A well-made weighted chess set has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Jaques of London and Benetfink & Co. are consistently popular.

Finding the Right Games for You

There’s no better way to wind down after a week of work than with a well-designed antique, new or vintage game.

A beautifully designed contemporary or vintage game can introduce an element of fun to any room in your home — and it doesn’t have to be limited to the game room. The right mid-century or antique chess set or backgammon board can mean high stakes as well as high style for any entertainment room or cheery home bar area, with works from the period proving as pivotal to relaxation as they are eye-catching statement pieces.

While trends come and go, a unique vintage games table never goes out of style. Chess has an enduring and universal appeal, of which we were reminded following 2020’s successful Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit, while classic tric-trac tables are showstoppers in a secretive way, affording party guests a treasury of gaming under the guise of a fine neoclassical writing desk. But in shopping for the latter, strategize your next move carefully — an 18th-century tric-trac table designed in the Louis XVI style can get costly. Gambling games are always on trend, and, in a pinch, you can turn your standard console table or coffee table into a platform for roulette, cards or craps to introduce a little cheeky fun at your next soiree.

Table games such as pool, foosball and Ping-Pong — which is getting a makeover in the hands of today’s designers — can transform your already winning game room, while integrating games or games tables in any corner of your home can support your effort to make every bit of your space more warm and inviting. Browse a vast collection of antique, new and vintage games today on 1stDibs.
