Chess Art

Chess is a classical game that has been played by many over time and is still popular today. It is not necessary to be a fan of the actual game in order to appreciate chess art. Framed abstract chess posters will not look out of place in a modern décor nor will antique chess prints in a traditional decor. Whereas most chess art focuses on the actual chess pieces, there are chess posters that do not and so these can be a wonderful addition to any décor. Prints that feature an antique chess board with rich tones of maroon, gold and black work well in a formal living room.

Hanging a gallery of black and white prints that are part of an art set, featuring a knight, bishop and other chess pieces, can create a focal point in a contemporary game room or basement living area. Framing them in black ties everything together for a coordinated look.
