It is made for those for whom chess is far more than a pastime: a way of life, a celebration of intelligence and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pieces, striking in their presence, are finely carved from natural boxwood and ebonised boxwood. Their décor is adorned with delicate floral engravings, and the high-gloss lacquer intensifies the contrast between black and beige. The silhouette of each figure, from pawn to king 4 in (99 mm), impresses with its nobility, while the polishing and precise balance give a luxurious feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 19.7 in (50 cm) board, crafted in Europe, is a masterpiece in its own right. Made from ebony, poplar and stained maple, it combines the strength of deep black with the radiance of beige in a spectacular chequered pattern. Its marquetry—of surgical precision—and its matt finish create a striking contrast while avoiding distracting reflections during play. It welcomes the pieces with dignity and majesty, in a visual silence that invites concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing the \u003cstrong\u003eApogée Chess Set\u003c\/strong\u003e is to bring into your home a creation that is both artistic and functional—an uncommon piece that draws the eye, sharpens the mind, and sets a new rhythm in the space where it takes pride of place.\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 Ebonised boxwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (height, base)\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e• King: 4 in (99 mm), 1.5 in (41 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Queen: 3.25 in (82 mm), 1.5 in (39 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Bishop: 3 in (78 mm), 1.5 in (36 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Knight: 2.75 in (70 mm), 1.5 in (36 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Rook: 2.25 in (57 mm), 1.5 in (36 mm)\u003cbr\u003e• Pawn: 2 in (50 mm), 1.25 in (29 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 kg (2.20 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eVarnished (High Gloss)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black and beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted and felted chess pieces for optimal playing comfort\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 pieces, including 2 extra queens for pawn promotions\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 Ebony, poplar and stained maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall board dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19.7 inches x 19.7 inches (50x50 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e Handcrafted Precision - This board is handcrafted in Europe using traditional methods and precision laser cutting for a clean, refined finish.
