British Staunton Chess Set Ebony & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut Burl & Bird's-Eye Maple Board & Box - King

This chess set package includes our British Staunton Chess Set with genuine ebony and boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut Burl and Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board and Classic Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Box. Our British Staunton is modeled after an old British Chess Company chess set from many years ago. It's purely traditional with all the features a player and collector looks for in a high quality Staunton chess set. The king is tall and has a base diameter of 1.625". The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability and green baize pads let the pieces slide easily across the chess board. This is a 34 piece set with 2 extra queens for pawn promotion. 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: Ebony & Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 4"; King Base: 1.625; King Weight: 3.2 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 52 ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize 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);.
