A set of ornate chess pieces, each openly expressing its own unique identity. Whilst retaining the classic Staunton shape, carved from solid rosewood and boxwood, these exceptional chess pieces are beautifully crafted.
In this chess set, the arched knight has been carved from the base and then hand-turned upwards. Along its curved neck lies a thick, intricately carved mane.
This chess set has a king height of 10.8 cm, so you will need to choose a chess board with 6 cm squares.
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.
