Arguably
the Most Beautiful Chess Sets Available!
This unique combination includes a stunning maplewood board and some of
the finest hand-carved wooden chess pieces in the world!
From Spain comes the artisan-fashioned, inlaid maplewood chess board,
tournament-size and beautifully appointed with marquetry and veneers.
Its fine wood is carefully selected for color, uniformity and overall
quality. This special selection process creates a chessboard that perfectly
matches the pieces while maintaining form, function and beauty. Fine varnish
and a special, ultraviolet drying process are the last steps in creating
a striking, high-gloss finish that is both glare-resistant and durable.
From India comes the exquisite boxwood set, prized for its beauty and
density. Highly polished pieces are double-weighted for a heft you can
feel. Each chess piece is hand-turned on a lathe and hand-sanded by highly
skilled Indian craftsmen. Pieces are then lacquered to a silky smooth
finish in deep, rich colors to bring out the details and beauty of the
natural wood. A weighted base prevents accidental tip-overs, while green-felt
bottom cushions and protects the pieces and board.
