You may recall a few months have passed since we announced a specially commissioned “New Weddington” – themed Chess Set to add to our historic items in our State Collection of Artefacts.
The set is close to completion, with the board and unique chess pieces completed. We are, however, just waiting on the specially ordered marble / onyx chess piece bases. Unfortunately the original supplier of these failed to deliver them, and they remain in limbo somewhere in China.
Our Department of Arts and Culture have now identified new suppliers closer to home and, Covid delays allowing, we hope to receive these by September with the set being completed by our Creative Designer Lady Katherine Revell; who also fashions our bespoke ceremonial medals.
We look forward to unveiling the completed set – along with the story and meaning behind each piece – very soon.
