French Lardy Staunton Chess Set Golden Rosewood & Boxwood Pieces with Classic Walnut Board - King

This attractive handcrafted chess set includes our French Lardy with golden rosewood and boxwood pieces matched with our Classic Walnut and Maple 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. 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 golden rosewood has rich golden-brown colors and a beautiful grain while the cream colored natural boxwood is the perfect wood for the white chess pieces. The pieces are hand polished and lacquered to a beautiful luster. 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. The French Lardy continues to be one of the most popular chess sets ever made and is an excellent choice for your chess game!Our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board is wonderfully handcrafted from the finest veneers and sealed in a semi-gloss polyurethane finish that both enhances and protects the character of the wood. This board features 2" squares and has a footprint of 19.5" and is .5" thick. We framed the squares in a wide black delimiter to both accentuate the playing area and enhance the rich color of the walnut and maple. For balance of design and visual aesthetics, we enveloped the board with a frame the full width of the squares. The precision of the inlay work across the entire chess board is remarkable. This beautiful chess board will enhance the enjoyment of every chess game you play on it.Chess Pieces: Golden Rosewood & Boxwood; King Height: 3.75"; King Base: 1.5"; King Weight: 2.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 44 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Billiard Cloth Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneers over Wood Composite; Finish: Satin Polyurethane (soft sheen); Square Size: 2"; Dimensions: 19.5" x 19.5" x .5";.
