Note globale du site
This set of wooden chess pieces combines the timeless elegance of the Staunton style with a particularly careful finish. Each piece is precisely turned from boxwood and padauk, two woods prized for their beauty and naturally contrasting tones.
The clean lines of these Staunton chess pieces give them a classic, refined look. The king and queen stand out with their majestic silhouette. Measuring 11.2 cm in height, the king features a delicately pierced cross at the centre of its crown, an original detail that highlights the elegant character of this set.
With a base diameter of 4.5 cm for the king, these large chess pieces are ideally suited to a chess board with squares measuring between 5.5 and 6 cm.
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.
