Bonaparte Chess Set
Crafted in Maple and Ebony

Elevate your chess game with the luxurious 'Bonaparte' Chess Set by Les Échiquiers du Roi.

This magnificent set, crafted from the finest maple and ebony woods, represents the pinnacle of French elegance and craftsmanship. Designed to enhance your chess-playing experience, each element of the 'Bonaparte' set exudes a sense of grandeur and sophistication, making it a centrepiece in any collection.

The chess pieces, meticulously carved from ebony for the dark pieces and boxwood for the light pieces, are weighted and felted to provide an optimal balance and smooth movement across the board. The king stands proudly at 4.25 in (106 mm), with each piece proportionally designed to ensure a harmonious and balanced set. The matt finish brings out the natural beauty of the wood, while the classic black and beige colour scheme adds a timeless touch.

The chessboard is a true work of art, featuring maple for the white squares and stained poplar for the black squares and borders. The striking black and white contrast, along with the visible grain of the wood, creates a visually captivating playing surface. Measuring 23.6 x 23.6 in (60 x 60 cm), with each square sized at 2.4 in (60 mm), the board offers ample space for strategic play. The board’s matt finish and precision laser-cut marquetry highlight the exceptional craftsmanship involved in its creation.
