Those pop up for sale but rarely. I had a set I sold a few months back. I would Google search until you locate one for sale.

Surprisingly difficult to find! Hopefully Google finds one soon. Thanks.
Patience and the search make the journey of finding one more satisfying. Hopefully you can find a set with the original coffer.
Thanks! I am totally enamored with this set so the chase/wait will make it even sweeter.
Not sure if it helps you but check thechessstore website.

You can also check with antiques.com. They have that set.
Thanks! The antiques.com one is already sold, so the search continues!
That was sold awhile back. Not a bad price without coffer.

Keep an eye on eBay! You may contact the buyer, his email is still listed on antiques.com. He may guide you from where to get that set!
One up... https://www.ebay.com/itm/174405164249
Its not the original coffer but looks to be in fair shape.
This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.
Yet it was not relisted...
Someone contacted the seller and made an offer they couldn't refuse.
That's not a surprise.
Another 'Gallant Knight Contemporary Gothic Mid-Century Modern Chess Set & Box' has been listed on ebay as DJAYA: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233885895414
This is the set I have. Though it looks very similar it's NOT the really rare DJAYA set. The obvious differences are the bases (scalloped in this set, not the rare 'plain' base) and the tops of the rooks.
I do like the gallant knight version too.
Has anyone ever reconditioned a set?
I managed to find a set that the copper finish had worn off… got a little too excited and pulled the trigger without THOROUGHLY checking the photos. So while I keep looking for a set in better condition, I was considering redoing the copper plating. I had also considered changing the finish, if this is to be a “placeholder ” set…
Any thoughts?

If anyone is still interested, I have the Djaya Gothic Set for sale. Just the pieces (in very good condition), no box. For what it's worth I will be listing them on ebay over the weekend.
Thank you
Do you still have that set for sale?
