Premium Sheesham Wood Chess Set

Discover the refinement of the Premium Sheesham Wood Chess Set by Les Échiquiers du Roi.

This elegant chess set combines a generous wooden board with beautifully crafted chess pieces in sheesham and boxwood. Designed for players who appreciate both comfort and aesthetics, it offers a balanced playing experience and a warm, natural presence in any interior.

Each chess piece is carefully carved from light boxwood and dark sheesham, creating a rich contrast between the two sides. The pieces are weighted and felted for excellent stability, a pleasant hand feel and smooth movement across the board. Their matt finish allows the natural character of the wood to stand out without excess shine.

The chessboard is crafted to showcase the grain and depth of the wood. The dark squares are made from sheesham, while the light squares are made from maple, creating a refined contrast in warm brown and ivory tones. Measuring 53 cm x 53 cm, with 5 cm squares, the board offers generous space for comfortable play. Its felted underside helps protect your furniture and adds further stability.

Whether displayed in a living room, used for serious games or offered as a memorable gift, this premium wooden chess set brings together craftsmanship, elegance and playing comfort.
