A beautifully crafted and original chess board made by our Italian artisan who specialises in creating chess sets.
It features a storage drawer to keep all your chess pieces safe.
The quality of the materials and the combination of alabaster and wood make this chess board a magnificent decorative and playing piece. Its original octagonal shape sets it apart from the many chess boards available, adding a touch of originality while keeping a classic elegance.
A beautiful chess set rests on a simple balance: pieces well proportioned to the size of the squares. To choose a harmonious board, the most reliable guide is the diameter of the king's base.
Key guideline: ideally, the king's base takes up about 75% of the square.

A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. À l’inverse, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
