Chess Set Duel
in Olive wood

Les Échiquiers du Roi present the Duel Chess Set, a meeting between the authenticity of olive wood and the nobility of artisanal craftsmanship.

This model stands out through its quiet strength and visual balance. Olive wood, symbol of peace and longevity, gives the board a warm, living presence: each grain tells a story, each shade is unique. The contrast between the light wood and the varnished black squares lends the set an elegant depth, somewhere between nature and modernity.

The pieces, hand-turned and carved, follow the classic Staunton lines with a sobriety that highlights the purity of the material. The pairing of boxwood and Sheesham creates a harmonious balance between light and density, a soft touch and a precise weight. Their matt finish celebrates the natural beauty of the wood—without artifice.

Choosing the Duel Chess Set is to choose a return to essentials: a tribute to raw materials, to the artisan’s hand, and to the long time of meditative games—an object to be passed down with the same silent elegance as the wood it comes from.
