Chess Set Blue Céleste
in Ash Burl

Les Échiquiers du Roi present the Céleste Chess Set, a creation where serenity and refinement meet through precious woods and a light, contemporary signature.

This set is distinguished by the delicacy of its board, made from ash burl and maple, and framed by a slightly raised border. Its glossy finish brings out the richness of the grain, while a fine line of light blue marquetry subtly highlights the squares. The overall effect is calm and luminous—an atmosphere conducive to focus and contemplation.

The pieces, hand-carved from ivory boxwood and red padauk, provide a warm, elegant contrast. Their matt finish reveals the beauty of the wood without artifice. Weighted and felted, they glide silently across the board with excellent stability. The king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm), with a balanced silhouette and a comfortable, assured weight.

The Céleste Chess Set is designed for those who love understated beauty: a set that is both expressive and perfectly composed, made to elevate everyday play.
