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.
