Chess Set Blue Impérial
in Ash Burl

Les Échiquiers du Roi present the Bleu Impérial Chess Set, a work of artisanal elegance where natural materials meet a bold, contemporary aesthetic.

This set stands out through the rare beauty of its board, made from ash burl and maple, enhanced by a slightly raised border. The glossy finish reveals the depth of the grain and catches the light with subtlety. A fine line of blue marquetry underlines the squares, adding a distinctive signature: a sober, almost architectural touch that evokes imperial ornamentation while remaining perfectly restrained.

The pieces, hand-carved from ivory boxwood and vivid red padauk, offer a striking, warm contrast. Their matt finish highlights the natural texture of the wood and ensures a comfortable touch. Weighted and felted, they provide remarkable stability and fluid movement. The king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm) in a balanced set designed for both play and display.

Choosing the Bleu Impérial Chess Set is to choose a collector’s piece: a set designed for those who love noble materials, precision craftsmanship and details that make all the difference.
