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.

This Knight is possibly the most facially accurate of any we have seen. 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 mitre, and the multiple rings around each of the piece bodies.

Here's a picture of all the bud rosewood pieces:



 

This picture shows how the pieces contrast when viewed together on our new optional 23"x23" Executive Flat Rosewood board:



This luxury chess set weighs 5 lbs 12 Ounces and is supplied with extra queens.

The Board shown is offered as an additional optional purchase.

Beware of copies that are now appearing on other websites and named differently and (with extreme audacity are also more expensive)- the carving of the knight is similar but less skilled; look at the eyes first, then the extent of the carving of the mane. 

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