A traditional chess set that combines solid wood chess pieces, carved, polished and hand-painted, with a maple and walnut wood board.
The attention to detail is remarkable at this price, each piece is protected by a fine green felt base, allowing you to play in comfort.
The chess board is crafted from quality maple and walnut wood, and the frame beautifully complements the ebonised chess pieces.
Finally, the set includes a compact burr veneer storage box for storing the chess pieces whenever you wish. The interior is lined with black felt and divided into two compartments, keeping the black and ivory chess pieces separate.
A classic wooden chess set that is full of charm and quality, offering excellent value for money.
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.
