I'm trying to find out if red (as opposed to black) Chess pieces are ever used.

Are some sets made in red and white, or is Lewis Carrol's Red Queen a figment of his imagination.

Any light you can throw on this would be much appreciated.

Hi Jenny,

In the Gareth Williams book "Master Pieces" (The Architecture of Chess - ISBN 0-670-89381-1) there are several Chess sets pictures depicting black pieces as "red pieces": pages 40, 43, 49, 58, 65, etc.
