Note globale du site
Discover an elegant folding wooden chess set, designed to offer a playing experience that is as enjoyable as it is refined. This set pairs a superb chess board in mahogany and maple with traditional chess pieces in natural and ebonised boxwood.
With a king height of 8.9 cm, the pieces offer an excellent grip and proportions perfectly suited to the board. Their strong contrast makes the game easy to read, while their classic style will appeal to regular players and lovers of beautiful objects alike.
The board measures 49 × 49 × 3.25 cm when open and 49 × 24.5 × 6.5 cm when closed. Its varnished, carefully polished surface highlights the wood’s natural tones while giving it a glossy, elegant finish.
This folding chess board has a built-in storage compartment, keeping each piece well protected after the game. Once closed, the board becomes a genuine box, easy to store and simple to carry.

Matching Guide
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.
