This model pays tribute to the very essence of chess: a dialogue between strength and delicacy, reflection and beauty. Olive wood—symbol of wisdom and peace—brings a luminous depth to the ensemble. Its golden, contrasting grain speaks of the slow growth of a Mediterranean tree shaped by sun and time. Each board becomes a singular, living, one-of-a-kind piece.
The pieces, hand-carved from light boxwood and deep ebony, embody the perfect balance between sobriety and power. Their matte finish, without varnish, lets the texture of the wood speak and offers an incomparable natural touch. Each figure is carefully weighted and felted for impeccable stability and fluid movement. The king, standing at 9.5 cm, rises with quiet authority in a harmonious composition where every detail is designed for precision and elegance.
The olive and black tulipwood board, with its discreet glow, completes the set. Reflections on the varnished wood mingle with the warmth of the grain, creating a play of light and shadow reminiscent of southern landscapes. Crafted in Europe to the highest artisanal standards, it showcases contemporary marquetry mastery: every square and every border invites contemplation.
Choosing the Essence Chess Set in Olive Wood is to choose rightness, slowness, essential beauty—where nature meets intelligence, designed to stand the test of time with the same serenity as the olive tree itself.
Giving a chess set is giving far more than a beautiful object. Making it unique turns it into a meaningful gift, designed to last and be passed on.
With our laser-engraving service, you can add a symbolic phrase or an important date to the back of the board. A discreet detail, but an essential one—one that marks a story.
