Chess Set Équilibre
in Rosewood and Sheesham

Les Échiquiers du Roi present the Équilibre Chess Set, a refined ensemble where classic lines meet the warmth of precious woods.

Designed for lovers of sober elegance, this set offers a harmonious pairing: rosewood and maple for the board, Sheesham and boxwood for the pieces. The result is a balanced contrast, both visually and in the hand—inviting smooth, precise play.

The pieces, turned and carved by hand, follow a classic Staunton silhouette. Their matt finish highlights the natural texture of the wood, while the weight and felt bases provide stable, silent movement. The king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm), with slender proportions and a calm presence on the board.

The board, handcrafted in Europe, showcases crisp marquetry and a lacquered finish that brings out the depth of the woods. Its generous size and clear geometry make it ideal for regular play, while its warm tones lend it an undeniable decorative presence.

The Équilibre Chess Set is designed for those who want a set that is both comfortable to play and naturally elegant—an object that settles into the home with discretion and character.
