Wooden Chess Sets: the Guide to Choosing Well

The art of wood in service of the game of kings

The wooden chess set remains the preferred choice of discerning players and collectors. Beyond aesthetics, wood offers a touch, weight and durability that no other material can match. Whether you're looking for a artisan-made wooden chess set for your living room or a competition set, this guide will help you make the right choice.

The Wood Species Used

🌳

Boxwood & Ebonised Boxwood

The classic wood par excellence. Boxwood offers a fine grain and ideal density for Staunton pieces. Its ebonised version replaces ebony at a lower cost while retaining a deep black.

🪵

Rosewood & Palisander

Prized for its warm grain and amber tone, rosewood (Sheesham) is the standard for high-end sets. Indian palisander offers even deeper shades.

✨

Ebony & Exotic Woods

Genuine ebony is the pinnacle of luxury: intense black, ultra-fine grain, exceptional density. Also sought after are wenge, walnut and padauk for their unique tones.

⛰

Alpine Wood & Lime Wood

The carved pieces from Val Gardena (Italy) are carved from lime wood or Alpine Swiss pine, then hand-painted. A craft passed down from generation to generation.

How to Choose your Wooden Chess Set

King height & proportions

The king height determines the size of the set. For classic use, choose a king of 7.5 to 9.5 cm. The golden rule: the base diameter of the king should take up about 75% of a square on the wooden chess board.

Weighting & felt

Weighted pieces offer superior stability and a premium feel. The felt beneath each piece protects the board and ensures smooth gliding. Two essential criteria for a quality wooden chess set.

Type of chess board

Classic flat board, chess board with built-in storage, or a folding travel box? Each format suits a particular use. Marquetry boards offer the finest decorative effect.

Use: playing, décor or collecting

A set for play favours ergonomics and readability. A decorative chess set focuses on aesthetics and finishes. For collecting, look for limited editions and rare woods.

💡 Expert tip — For a first purchase, a set in boxwood and rosewood with an 8.5 cm king on a 45x45 cm board offers the best value for enjoyment. It's the standard used in clubs and tournaments.

Caring for your Wooden Chess Set

Cleaning

Wipe your pieces regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid any harsh chemical products.

Protection & storage

Store your set in its box away from direct light and humidity. An annual application of linseed oil or beeswax nourishes the wood and revives its natural shine.
