This chess set design was launched by us in 2006 and is available in rich bud rosewood.

The King is 4 1/2" tall (to tip of finial) and weighs a whopping 4.6 ounces! It has a base diameter of 1 3/4" with a choice of either leather or green felt pads. The picture of the white pieces above shows the excellent proportioning of all the pieces.

We love the knight in this design for the great expression and detail. Look closely at the eyes, mane, jaw bone and the attention to detail in the teeth, occipital crest, shapely ears and nostrils!

This is a racehorse ready for action!

 

The carving of the knight is quite extraordinary. The design of the other pieces are also highly commended, look at the crafting of the King and Queen, the bishop's delicately cut miter, and the multiple rings around each of the piece bodies.

Here's a picture of the different bud rosewood pieces shown together:

This set is available with a choice of either leather or felt pads! Need advise?
