This exquisite chess set includes our New Exclusive Staunton chess pieces in genuine ebony and boxwood matched with our Mission Craft Solid South American Walnut and Maple Chess Board. Our New Exclusive is purely traditional Staunton with a stature reminiscent of a fine Jaques set. The knights are hand carved with realistic features including ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. The pieces have a graceful profile with a wide and elegant base that creates a cohesive design from pawn to king. The ebony is polished to a beautiful obsidian black luster while the boxwood pieces are polished to the perfect light amber color of a fine Staunton wood set. This is a large set with a 3.5" king with a base diameter of 1.625". The pieces are triple weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing. We include 2 spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made.
