Chess Set Osmose
in Rosewood and Sheesham

Les Échiquiers du Roi are delighted to present the Osmose Chess Set, a creation where harmony of materials reflects the harmony of play.

This model is built around a subtle dialogue: the luminous clarity of maple meets the deep warmth of rosewood. The raw finish preserves the authenticity of the wood and reveals the grain in its most natural expression. The board’s visual balance creates a calm field for concentration—both refined and welcoming.

The pieces, hand-carved from ivory boxwood and solid ebony (Diospyros ebenum), offer a timeless contrast. Their clean proportions, weight and felt bases provide excellent playing comfort, with stable, silent movement. The king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm) in a complete set designed for serious games and everyday pleasure.

Choosing the Osmose Chess Set is to choose a set that feels both essential and distinctive—where craftsmanship, material and design come together naturally.
