Dubrovnik Series Chess Set Burnt Boxwood Pieces with Walnut Burl & Bird's-Eye Maple Board & Box - King

This elegant chess set includes our burnt boxwood version of our Dubrovnik Championship Series chess set matched with our Walnut Burl and Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board and Classic Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Box. This wonderful chess set is an exact replica of the one used in 1970s-era Dubrovnik Chess Olympiad in Siegen, West Germany. This wonderful Staunton pattern was made popular by the legendary Bobby Fischer, who was often photographed playing with his own set. Pieces are handcrafted from boxwood that is burnt and then a hand carved design is added to each piece creating a unique and distinguishable pattern. This is a tournament-sized set that features a 3.875" King with a 1.625" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest boxwood. The chess pieces are heavily weighted have thick green baize pads for a soft feel on chess board. The unique design, quality and craftsmanship of this chess set is simply unmatched. Our Walnut Burl and Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board offers a luxurious back drop for these special chess pieces. Handcrafted from premium veneer, this chess board highlights the deep, rich hues of the walnut burl contrasted with the golden tones of the bird's-eye maple. The squares are surrounded with a wide black delimiter and a black border on the outside accentuates the bird's-eye maple frame. A semi-gloss polyurethane finish both protects and enhances the color of the wood. The squares are 2.125" with an overall footprint of 21.5".Our Bird's-Eye Maple Classic Chess Box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from years ago. The box is covered in beautiful bird's-eye maple veneer that perfectly matches the chess board squares and frame with a lustrous semi-gloss polyurethane finish. The interior is lined with a thick emerald-green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for conveniently storing the black and white pieces separately. We use high quality brass plated quadrant hinges that neatly recess into the wall of the box and a brass plated lock and key for securing the lid when closed. It's the perfect chess box for safely storing and protecting these special chess pieces.Chess Pieces: Boxwood; Pieces are burnt followed by a hand carved design; High gloss lacquer with a glass-like finish; King Height: 3.875"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 3 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 56 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Billiard Cloth Pads ; Chess Board: The Chess Store Exclusive Design Handcrafted Chess Board; Material: Walnut Burl, Bird's-Eye Maple & Black Poplar Veneer; Finish: Semi-Gloss Polyurethane; Square Size: 2.125"; Dimensions: 21.5" x 21.5" x .5"; Cloth-line bottom; Chess Box: Material: Bird's-Eye Maple Veneer & Other Wood Material; Lining: Thick Emerald Green Baize; Finish: Semi-Gloss Polyurethane; Brass Plated Quadrant Hinges (recessed & slide into box); Brass Plated Lock & Key; Outside Dimensions: 9.75" x 6.625" x 4.25" ; Inside Dimension: 8.75" x 5.625" x 3" (1" space above in lid);.
