€110.40In stockOrder before noon, dispatched today*Valid Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays)Reference: Chess 13082
Storage box hand-crafted in burr wood veneer.
The box is lined inside with black felt and is divided into two compartments to neatly store both sets of coloured pieces.
The construction of this box is a fine achievement, with chrome quadrant hinges set into the box to create a neat, sturdy look.
The hinges are not just decorative; they also stop the box lid from folding back too far, allowing the lid to stay open safely.

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.
Traditional wooden chess sets
| King height | King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|---|
| 7,3 to 7,6 cm | 3,8 cm | 4,7 to 5,1 cm |
| 9,5 to 9,8 cm | 4,4 cm | 5,7 to 6 cm |
| 10,1 cm | 4,1 to 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm and above | 4,4 cm | 6,3 to 7 cm |
Metal, resin, pewter, brass or themed sets
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 to 2,4 cm | 2,8 to 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 to 2,9 cm | 3,5 to 4 cm |
| 3 to 3,4 cm | 4,3 to 5 cm |
| 3,5 to 3,9 cm | 4,8 to 6,2 cm |
| 4 to 4,5 cm | 6 to 8 cm |
A board that is too small can hamper moves and make the set look cluttered. Conversely, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
