Chess Set Quintessence od jasenovog burl drva

DESCRIPTION

Les Échiquiers du Roi present the Quintessence Chess Set, a work where exceptional craftsmanship meets the purity of noble materials. – Delivery time: 2 weeks.

Designed for lovers of timeless elegance, the Quintessence Chess Set embodies the meeting of visual refinement and artisanal perfection. Every detail—from the wood grain to the softness of the polish—reflects high-precision work. The contrast between deep red padauk and ivory boxwood creates a rare harmony, evoking the warmth of precious wood and the nobility of the handmade gesture.

The pieces, hand-turned in keeping with the Staunton tradition, stand out through perfect balance and a sleek silhouette. Their matt finish highlights the wood’s natural texture while guaranteeing a silky touch and remarkable playing comfort. The set, heavy and felted, gives each move a sense of stability and control.

The board, a marquetry masterpiece, pairs the luminosity of maple with the depth of stained ash. Its varnished finish brings out rich reflections and the grain, while the slightly raised border adds an architectural dimension. Crafted in Europe using precision laser cutting, it expresses rare aesthetic rigour and technical excellence.

Choosing the Quintessence Chess Set is to choose an exceptional piece—both a playing instrument and an object of contemplation. A symbol of measure and balance, made for those who recognise beauty in precision.
