A marble chess set that is as elegant as it is original, comprising a chess board and matching pieces in beautiful shades of black and green. This set captivates with its mineral appearance, glossy finish and the natural variations of its marble.
The chess board measures 23 × 23 cm, a compact size that allows for a genuine game of chess while remaining easy to store. The marble pieces feature a classic, instantly recognisable silhouette. The king, standing 5.4 cm tall, offers proportions perfectly suited to the size of the squares.
This chess set comes with a storage box specially designed to hold the board and all 32 pieces. Inside, each piece has its own compartment to limit knocks and friction during storage or transport.
Fitted with metal clasps, the box keeps the set together and protected when not in use. It also makes for a beautifully presented gift for any chess enthusiast.
The contrast between the deep black marble and the natural shades of green marble gives this set plenty of character. Placed in a living room, an office or a library, this small marble chess set becomes a genuine decorative piece.
As each piece is crafted from natural stone, the colours, veining and marbling may vary slightly from one set to another. These differences make each chess set unique and reflect its handcrafted character.
This black and green marble chess set with storage box will delight players, collectors and lovers of beautiful objects alike.
Choosing the right board size
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.
