A green maple wood chess board that pairs beautifully with a brass or ebony chess set.
The edges of the squares are bordered with a thin red wood line that sets the playing area apart from the frame.
A felt layer beneath the board protects the playing surface of the chess board.
A generously sized chess board bringing a touch of originality and colour, with beautiful finishing touches.
The chess board is available in two sizes, to be chosen according to the chess pieces you already own (see our size guide table).
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.
