Emblem Chess Set in Ash and Boxwood

DESCRIPTION

Les Échiquiers du Roi is proud to present the Emblem Chess Set, a masterpiece of design and elegance.

Combining the nobility of ebony and boxwood, this set is an essential piece for strategy and aesthetics enthusiasts. With its balanced proportions and understated design, it pays homage to classic chess sets while incorporating modern refinement.

The board, meticulously handcrafted in Europe, is a perfect example of high-precision marquetry. Made from stained ash for the dark squares and maple for the light squares, it offers a striking contrast with its deep gray and beige tones. The dimensions of 40 cm by 40 cm ensure a smooth gaming experience, while the wide 40 mm border provides stability and an imposing appearance. The board is subtly varnished, highlighting the natural wood grain while ensuring long-lasting durability.

Each piece of the Emblem Chess Set is crafted in the tradition of artisanal craftsmanship, with boxwood for the light pieces and ebony for the dark pieces. The king, standing at 76 mm tall, majestically rules over the chessboard, followed by the other finely sculpted and weighted pieces for perfect balance. Their matte finish and felted bases ensure optimal playing comfort, whether for casual games or intense tournaments.

To complete this prestigious set, an optional Sheesham wood box is available. Designed to protect your pieces with elegance, this box offers compartments for optimal storage. It perfectly complements the set, adding a final touch of sophistication to your collection.
