The Nobility of Rare Woods
Chess boards inlaid in fine wood: walnut, maple, ebony, rosewood
Our fine wood chess boards are the result of exacting craftsmanship: traditional marquetry, solid veneer squares, moulded frames and matt or satin varnish finishes. Every wooden chess board in our collection uses at least two contrasting woods — boxwood and rosewood, maple and walnut, ebony and maple — to create the distinctive chequered pattern. The result: an elegant playing surface that is durable and pleasant to the touch.
Our wood types
Walnut & Maple
The classic pairing: warm brown walnut for the dark squares, light maple for the light squares. Crisp contrast, fine grain, highly durable. The discerning player's standard choice.
ViewEbony & Boxwood
A prestigious pairing: deep black ebony and pale yellow boxwood. The most striking contrast in the world of chess. The chess board of elite tournaments and collectors.
ViewRosewood
A red-brown tone with spectacular grain patterns. Rosewood is prized for its natural beauty and high density, which gives the board stability and a satisfying weight.
ViewMarquetry
Some of our chess boards feature Florentine marquetry motifs: banding, interlacing and geometric borders. A work of fine cabinetmaking that goes far beyond a simple playing surface.
ViewExpert tip: For your fine wood chess pieces, choose a board in matching tones: ebony/boxwood pieces on an ebony/maple board, rosewood/boxwood pieces on a walnut/maple board. Harmony of tone makes all the difference.
