Chess Set Orée
in Rosewood

Les Échiquiers du Roi are delighted to present the Orée Chess Set, a delicate tribute to beginnings and transitions. Orée means “the edge”. It evokes the threshold between silence and decision, between contemplation and action.

This set is built around a strong, elegant contrast: a board in rosewood and sycamore, enhanced by a wide rosewood border with engraved coordinates—a detail that is both practical and beautifully understated. With its generous 50 cm format, it offers perfect readability and a calm playing field designed for long games.

The pieces, carved from natural boxwood and solid ebony, stand out through their classic Staunton proportions and careful balance. Weighted and felted with green bases, they glide smoothly and remain stable in play. The set includes 34 pieces, with two extra queens for promotions.

An optional Sheesham storage box protects the pieces and completes the ensemble with warmth and authenticity. View more photos and details of this beautiful chess box.

Choosing the Orée Chess Set is to welcome a set that feels both poetic and precise—an object to live with, to play, and to pass on.
