This exquisite set merges modern design with traditional craftsmanship, creating a stunning piece that is both functional and visually appealing. Perfect for the discerning chess enthusiast, this set is designed to enhance your playing experience while serving as a beautiful decorative piece.

The chess pieces are crafted from ebonized boxwood for the dark pieces and Gardenia latifolia for the light pieces, showcasing a sleek and contemporary design. Each piece is meticulously shaped with smooth curves and a matte finish, providing a comfortable grip and an elegant look. The pieces are weighted and felted for optimal stability and ease of movement.

Accompanying these beautifully designed pieces is an optional chess box made from high-quality faux leather. The box features refined stitching and a robust design, providing a secure and elegant storage solution. Its generous interior is compartmentalized to separate the light and dark pieces, ensuring they are well-protected and organized. The box’s superior snap closure adds to its luxurious appeal, making it a perfect match for this exquisite chess set.

The chessboard is a true masterpiece, crafted from stained ash wood and maple. The rich royal blue and beige squares, highlighted with a black trim, create a striking visual contrast. The board’s dimensions of 50 cm x 50 cm with 50 mm squares offer a spacious and luxurious playing area. The high-gloss varnish finish adds a touch of sophistication, while the precision laser-cut marquetry ensures a flawless appearance. The elegant silkscreened logo of Les Échiquiers du Roi adds an exclusive touch to this exceptional board.
