Chess Set Couronne
in Ebony

Les Échiquiers du Roi are proud to present the Couronne Chess Set, an exceptional creation where the nobility of materials meets uncompromising artisanal precision.

This set is designed for those who seek a piece that is both prestigious and timeless. It celebrates contrast in its most elegant form: the deep darkness of ebony against the luminous softness of boxwood. The aesthetic is clean, regal and resolutely refined.

The pieces, hand-carved from natural boxwood and solid ebony (Diospyros ebenum), reveal a classic silhouette enhanced by impeccable finishing. Each figure is perfectly balanced, weighted and felted for an uncompromising playing experience. The king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm), offering a poised presence that naturally commands the board without excess.

The board, handcrafted in Europe, combines ebony, poplar and stained maple in a perfectly legible black-and-beige chequerboard. The fine marquetry and the matt finish highlight the wood grain while limiting reflections. The result is a precise, sober and striking playing surface—made to last and to be admired.

The Couronne Chess Set is a statement of taste: an object that brings together the pleasure of play and the elegance of a collector’s piece.
