Each chess piece in this collection is meticulously hand-carved to create the traditional lines of the Staunton style.
They are hand-turned from a single piece of wood before receiving an expert finish.
Crafted in ebony and boxwood, with a king height of 9.5 cm, they will sit perfectly on a chess board with squares of 5 to 5.5 cm.
You can also be assured that the ebony used to create this luxury chess set comes from an ethical source.
Pieces sold without a board.
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.
