New Exclusive Staunton Chess Set Ebonized & Natural Boxwood Pieces with Classic Walnut Board & Box - King

This elegant handcrafted chess set includes our New Exclusive Staunton with Ebonized and Natural Boxwood Pieces matched with our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. The ebonized boxwood is jet black with no visible grain just like real ebony while the cream colored natural boxwood is the perfect wood for the white chess pieces. The New Exclusive Staunton has all of the features that avid chess players and collectors looks for in an upper-end Staunton chess set. From the elegant profile with a large tapered base to the extraordinary knights carved by some of the best craftsmen in the world, you will be thoroughly impressed with the quality of these Staunton chessmen. The king is tall and has a 1.625" base - an excellent size for the casual game at home! The pieces are triple weighted for exceptional stability and have thick green baize pads for a soft landing on the chess board. 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 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.The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in walnut veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost.Chess Pieces: Ebonized & Natural Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 3.5"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 2.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 44 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Cloth Pads; Certificate of Authenticity; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneer & Wood Materials; Finish: Satin Polyurethane (soft sheen); Square Size: 2"; Dimensions: 19.5" x 19.5" x .5"; Felt Bottom; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 8.25" x 5.625" x 3.75" ; Inside Dimension: 7.25" x 4.5" x 2.5" (.75" space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;.
