French Lardy Staunton Chess Set Ebonized & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut & Maple Molded Edge Board - King

This chess set includes our French Lardy Staunton with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board. Our French Lardy Staunton originates from the classic model produced by the French Lardy Chess Company many years ago. The simple and handsome design has proven a favorite for generations of chess players. The pieces are beautifully shaped with simple detail that will withstand the wear and tear of regular use. Handcrafted from boxwood, the ebonized pieces are polished to an obsidian black finish nearly indistinguishable from real ebony. This set features a tall king with a base of 1.5", an ideal set for casual games at home with family and friends. Pieces have green billiard cloth pads for a soft landing on the chess board and are nicely weighted for stability. The jet black ebonized pieces look almost like real ebony and they make a beautiful contrast against the rich brown colors of the walnut. We include 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 Molded Edge Chess Board from Rechapados Ferrer combines classic design with elegant features to create an eye-catching battle field for your chess game. This is an inlaid chess board handcrafted from high quality walnut and maple veneer and sealed with a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood. A wide and colorful burl wood delimiter accentuates the playing field while the black stained molded edge highlights the entire board. The squares are 2" and the footprint of the board is 21.5" square. Four felt pads on the bottom will protect whatever furniture the board sets on.Chess Pieces: Ebonized & Natural Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer buffing wheel; King Height: 3.75"; King Base: 1.5"; King Weight: 2.5 oz.; Chess Set Weight: 40 oz.; Green Baize Cloth Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Sycamore Delimiter Around Squares; Molded Edge; Square Size: 2"; Overall Dimensions: 21.5" x .5" Thick;.
