The pieces, inspired by period designs, evoke the era of private clubs and great chess cafés—where the game was as much a social art as a discipline of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces are hand-carved from natural boxwood and Sheesham, with a matt finish that preserves the wood’s natural texture. Weighted and felted, they offer a comfortable, stable glide and a pleasing, quiet contact with the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board, handcrafted in Europe, combines rosewood and sycamore in crisp marquetry. Its lacquered finish enhances the depth of the woods and highlights the contrast between the squares and the border. The set thus becomes an object to live with: elegant, readable and made to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAntique Chess Set\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for lovers of timeless pieces—where heritage and craftsmanship give the game its full presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHESS PIECES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boxwood (Gardenia latifolia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Wood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine ebony (Diospyros ebenum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e: Historical Steinitz Staunton 1865-1870 reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (height, base)\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e• King: 3.75 in (95 mm), 1.75 in (42 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Queen: 3 in (77 mm), 1.5 in (37 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Bishop: 2.75 in (67 mm), 1.5 in (35 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Knight: 2.25 in (58 mm), 1.5 in (35 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Rook: 2.25 in (54 mm), 1.5 in (35 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Pawn: 1.75 in (45 mm), 1 in (28 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eSatin (soft matt appearance), yellow-tinted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.25 kg (2.76 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical detail: King-\u003c\/strong\u003eside stamping on the knight and rook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying comfort\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weighted and felted pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 pieces, including 2 extra queens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCHESSBOARD\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood (dark squares and border) and maple (light squares)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep brown and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall board dimen\u003c\/strong\u003esions: 19.1 x 19.1 x 0.5 in (50 x 50 x 1.3 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 in (50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 in (50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e: H\u003cem\u003eandcrafted Precision - \u003c\/em\u003efine marquetry and clean laser cutting.
