Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set Ebony & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut & Maple Deluxe Board & Box - King

This chess set package includes our Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set with genuine ebony and boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. The Fierce Knight is a blend of contemporary and traditional Staunton design featuring knights that are carved with realistic features. The perked ears, eyes, mouth, and mane create a fierce looking countenance that gives this set its name. The ebony is polished to an obsidian black finish and has no visible grain while the cream colored natural boxwood is the perfect wood for the white chess pieces. The king is tall and has a base diameter of 1.75". The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing. We include 2 spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made.Our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the leading chess board manufacturer in the world. This is an inlaid chess board made from the finest quality walnut and maple veneer and sealed with a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect and enhance the beauty of the wood. The precise inlay work by the craftsmen is remarkable. The chess board has 2.125" squares accentuated by an elegant triple inlay delimiter and surrounded by an extra wide frame. The overall size of the board is 21.5" and is .5" thick.The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in walnut veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost. Whether you are a collector or just looking for one special chess set for home, the Fierce Knight chess set with this beautiful chess board is an unbeatable combination.Chess Pieces: Ebony & Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 4"; King Base: 1.75; King Weight: 3.2 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 52 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Matte Polyurethane Finish; Triple Inlay Delimiter Around Squares; Square Size: 2.125"; Overall Dimensions: 21.5" x .5" Thick; Made for The Chess Store by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 9.75" x 6.625" x 4.25" ; Inside Dimension: 8.75" x 5.625" x 3" (1" space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;.
