Chess Set
Gambit Royal

Les Échiquiers du Roi are delighted to present the Gambit Royal Chess Set, an emblematic creation dedicated to the beauty of the game, strategic intelligence and the elegance of the move.

This model pays tribute to the spirit of great tournaments and to those who, through audacity and clarity, have turned chess into an art. Behind its name lies a world that is both delicate and passionate, where every move is played with the precision of a free mind—a discreet nod to the modern heroine who inspired a generation of players and dreamers.

The pieces, hand-carved from light boxwood and ebonised boxwood, stand out through their slender, harmonious silhouette. Their restrained lines evoke the purity of the Staunton style, revisited with a contemporary touch. The matte finish, without varnish, reveals the natural texture of the wood and highlights the nobility of the material. The set seduces through its balance: a soft feel, a well-judged weight, a hushed sound on the board.

The board, with its graphic and pared-back design, combines the depth of black tulipwood with the clarity of sycamore. A fine coloured marquetry line underlines the squares, like a discreet thread of gold linking art and focus. Handmade in Europe, it blends modernity and tradition with complete artisanal mastery. Its matte finish creates a calm atmosphere, ideal for reflection and inspiration.

Choosing the Gambit Royal Chess Set is to choose the union of talent and grace—a set made for those who see chess as a way of life, a gesture of elegance and freedom.
