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

This attractive handcrafted chess set includes our French Lardy Staunton with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Mahogany 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. 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-orange colors of the mahogany. 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 Mahogany and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board from Rechapados Ferrer combines classic design with elegant features to create an eye-catching battlefield for your chess game. This is an inlaid chess board handcrafted from high quality mahogany and maple veneer and sealed with a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood. A wide black delimiter accentuates the playing field and enhances the rich color of the mahogany while the black stained molded edge highlights the entire board. The squares are 2" and the footprint of the board is 19.5" square. Four felt pads on the bottom will protect whatever furniture the board sets on.Our Classic Mahogany Chess Box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality boxes from years ago. The box is covered in mahogany veneer while the interior is lined with a luxurious thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box is a loose-piece design for simple stacking of the pieces and has a divider in the center for neatly storing the black and white pieces separately. We use high quality brass plated hardware including recessed hinges, lock, and key adding the final touch to this beautiful box.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 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 40 Ounces; Green Baize Cloth Pads; Chess Board: Material: Mahogany & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Black Delimiter Around Squares; Molded Edge; Square Size: 2"; Overall Dimensions: 19.5" x .5" Thick; Chess Box: Material: Mahogany Veneer & Other Woods; Lining: Thick Green Baize (same material as the pads on the chess pieces); Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Brass Plated Hinges, Lock & Key; Outside Dimensions: 9.25" x 6.375" x 4" ; Inside Dimension: 8" x 5" x 2.75" (1" space above in lid);.
