Made by our Italian craftsman who specialises in creating chess sets, this round chess board, in briar wood, is recognisable at first glance, the wood is naturally grained so that every board made is unique.
The chess board and playing surface is bordered by a beautifully decorated wooden band on all four sides, featuring a metal horse head.
The board rests on four legs, each shaped from a single piece of wood.
A truly original chess board, its design, the quality of its materials and finishes mean you won’t find two alike.
This chess board is available in two sizes (see the drop-down menu below).
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.
| King height | King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|---|
| 7,3 à 7,6 cm | 3,8 cm | 4,7 à 5,1 cm |
| 9,5 à 9,8 cm | 4,4 cm | 5,7 à 6 cm |
| 10,1 cm | 4,1 à 4,7 cm | 6 cm |
| 11,2 cm | 5 cm | 6,3 cm |
| 12,7 cm et plus | 4,4 cm | 6,3 à 7 cm |
| King base diameter | Square size |
|---|---|
| 2 à 2,4 cm | 2,8 à 3,5 cm |
| 2,5 à 2,9 cm | 3,5 à 4 cm |
| 3 à 3,4 cm | 4,3 à 5 cm |
| 3,5 à 3,9 cm | 4,8 à 6,2 cm |
| 4 à 4,5 cm | 6 à 8 cm |
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.
