Chess Set Galerie
in Ebony & Boxwood

Les Échiquiers du Roi are delighted to unveil the Galerie Chess Set, a refined ensemble where artisanal excellence is expressed through rare materials and a crisp aesthetic designed to elevate every game.

This set stands out through the powerful, sophisticated contrast between two high-end woods: natural boxwood, chosen for its brightness and fine texture, and ebonised boxwood, worked using traditional methods to achieve a deep, even black without compromising the wood’s natural qualities. The result captivates with its precision, graphic sobriety and the quiet elegance of its lines.

The board, meanwhile, asserts itself as a true collector’s piece. Handmade in Europe, it combines ebony, poplar and stained maple in finely marqueted composition. With its velvety black and soft beige, it offers perfect readability. The subtle grain, the matt finish and the careful framing reflect a rare level of quality. With generous dimensions (19.1 x 19.1 in (50 x 50 cm)), it suits serious play as much as decorative display.

The set can be paired with an optional storage box, finished in black faux leather with stitched detailing—understated, robust and elegant. View more photos and details of this beautiful chess box.

The Galerie Chess Set embodies what Les Échiquiers du Roi stand for: beauty in service of function, exacting standards in the details, and a true love of the game.
