Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set Ebonized & Boxwood Pieces with Elm Burl & Erable Board - King

This luxurious handcrafted chess set includes our Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Elm Burl and Erable Chess Board. The Fierce Knight is a blend of contemporary and traditional Staunton design featuring knights that are carved with realistic features. The perked ears, eyes, mouth, and mane create a fierce looking countenance that gives this set its name. Made from boxwood, the ebonized pieces are polished to an obsidian black finish nearly indistinguishable from real ebony. The king is tall and has a base diameter of 1.75". The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing. We include 2 spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made.Our Elm Burl and Erable Chess Board is made for us by Italfama in Italy, the leading chess manufacturer in Europe.
