Vienna Coffee House Antique Reproduction Chess Set High Gloss Black & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut Burl & Bird's-Eye Maple Board - King

This beautiful chess set includes our Vienna Coffee House antique reproduction chess pieces matched with our Walnut Burl and Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board. The Vienna Coffee House is elegant and has a unique design based on the sets produced in the early 1900's in Austria. There were many iterations of the basic design and our approach was to take the best elements from the most attractive models and create a chess set that had the best of everything. Our chess pieces are more refined and much higher quality than would have been available with the original sets. This is large set with a tall king and a base diameter of 1.7". The knights are wonderfully carved with handsome features and fine detail. These pieces are made from ebonized and natural boxwood and have a glass-like lacquered finish just like our Black & Ash Burl chess board.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". These beautiful chess pieces and board together offer the ultimate playing experience.Chess Pieces: Ebonized & Natural Boxwood; High Gloss Lacquer Finish; King Height: 4"; King Base: 1.7"; King Weight: 2.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 36 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;.
