A chess board crafted from beautiful maple wood stained blue, original and stylish, it will pair perfectly with brass or metal chess pieces.
Made by Italian artisans with expertise in crafting chess sets, this handmade chess board features a lacquered finish, with the playing surface bordered by a fine ebony band. A truly beautiful piece with plenty of fine detail.
The chess board is available in three different sizes to suit the size of the chess pieces you own (see our size guide for more information).
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.
