32 wooden pieces, felted and weighted

This set is well suited to chess enthusiasts who appreciate historical themes, as well as to those looking for a gift idea inspired by the Napoleonic era. The storage built into the board allows the pieces to be kept in the same piece of furniture.
To preserve the appearance of the wood and faux leather, it is advisable to wipe the board with a dry cloth after use.
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. Conversely, a board that is too large can break the harmony of the whole. The right size brings both playing comfort and elegance.
