Chess Set Éternel
in Ebony

Les Échiquiers du Roi are delighted to present the L’Éternel Chess Set, a model of balance and purity where the nobility of ebony meets the timeless clarity of boxwood.

Designed as an enduring piece, this set evokes permanence: the permanence of beautiful objects, of slow games, of transmitted gestures. Its refined contrast, sober lines and artisanal quality make it a natural centrepiece for any interior.

The pieces are hand-carved from natural boxwood and solid ebony (Diospyros ebenum). Their classic proportions and matt finish give them a modern, understated elegance. Each piece is weighted and felted for stable, silent play, and the king stands at 3.75 in (9.5 cm) in a harmonious set of 34 pieces.

The board, handmade in Europe, combines ebony, poplar and stained maple. Its black-and-beige marquetry is crisp and perfectly legible, enhanced by a matt finish that brings out the grain and avoids distracting glare. It offers a calm, precise and dignified playing surface.

Choosing the L’Éternel Chess Set is to choose a companion for years to come—an elegant object designed to be enjoyed, cared for and passed on.
