Chess Set Œuvre
in Olive wood

Les Échiquiers du Roi are delighted to present the Œuvre Chess Set in Olive Wood, an exceptional piece where nature becomes sculpture and the game, a timeless art.

This model embodies the raw beauty of Mediterranean wood. Each olive-wood board tells a story: that of a centuries-old tree, both resilient and profoundly alive. Its light, golden grain—crossed by darker, unpredictable nuances—gives every board a unique character. The contrast with the black tulipwood squares creates a sober, mineral elegance worthy of the finest European artisanal creations.

The pieces, finely carved from boxwood and ebonised boxwood, stand out through their refinement and presence. The high-gloss lacquer magnifies the richness of the woods while highlighting the precision of the handwork. The set offers a perfect balance between noble material, quality of gesture and purity of design. The king, slender and majestic, embodies serenity and strength. Each piece, weighted and felted, glides silently across the board in absolute comfort.

More than a game, the Œuvre Chess Set in Olive Wood is a contemplative creation. It evokes patience, light and Mediterranean craftsmanship. Both a work of art and an instrument of reflection, it is made for discerning connoisseurs who value authentic beauty and rare materials.

A set to admire as much as to play—a true œuvre for those who see the chessboard as a space for thought and heritage.
