This beautiful wooden chess set is made using quality solid hardwoods and precision craftsmanship for an heirloom quality showcase set. The handmade chess board is made in our shop in Missouri and features dark squares of solid black walnut and light squares of solid maple, with a solid walnut border. The board is backed with baltic birch, and rubber pads on the bottom protect surfaces and prevent slips.

Style of carving: Choose a repeating geometric pattern or calligraphy style with a queen’s crown motif and graceful sweeping lines.

Pieces: Choice of solid wooden chessmen made by expert craftsmen in India, the global leader in quality wooden chess pieces. Pieces come in a cotton drawstring bag. Choose standard or premium.

Standard pieces: This is a quality Staunton-style wooden chess set with 3.25" king (king's base is 1.25"). Light pieces are boxwood, dark pieces are sheesham wood. Pieces are weighted with green felt on bottom. Extra queens for pawn promotion can be added here. Choose regular size.

Premium pieces: In this premium Staunton-style set, the king is 3.25" tall (base is 1.5"). This set features a smooth finish and highly detailed carving. Light pieces are boxwood, dark pieces are acacia wood. Double queens are included. Pieces are substantially weighted for a satisfying feel in the hand and lined with green felt on the bottom.
