Chess Set Éclat
in Ebony

Les Échiquiers du Roi present the Éclat Chess Set, a piece of character where deep ebony and luminous boxwood create a contrast as striking as it is refined.

Everything in this set has been designed to combine visual intensity with playing pleasure. The clean lines, the quality of the woods and the precision of the finishes create an ensemble that is both contemporary and timeless—made for serious games as well as for display.

The pieces, hand-carved from natural boxwood and solid ebony (Diospyros ebenum), offer a classic silhouette with impeccable balance. Weighted and felted, they glide silently and remain perfectly stable on the board. The king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm), giving the set an assured presence.

The board, handmade in Europe from ebony, poplar and stained maple, features crisp marquetry and a matt finish that enhances the grain without glare. Its black-and-beige chequerboard is immediately legible, creating a calm visual field that encourages focus.

Éclat embodies what Les Échiquiers du Roi value: precision, sobriety and the quiet strength of beautiful materials.
