The natural black and beige tones offer unique visual depth, magnified by a matte finish that enhances the purity of the lines.

To complement this set, an optional Sheesham wood box is available. Carefully designed to house and protect each piece of the game, this luxurious case adds a final touch of elegance and practicality. Its compartmentalized design ensures optimal storage while preserving the beauty and durability of your pieces.
