This hand carved budrosewood chess set features an 8" King and very detailed embellishments. The wood graining is beautiful and would be appreciated for it's rich antique-like appearance. The pictures are taken on the optional 23" x 23" Rosewood board which has a square size of 2 3/8. Although the King's base size is 2 1/8" this square sizing would normally be considered too small but this ratio is offset by the smaller bases of the other pieces. The pawns base size being 1 3/8". Here's a picture of the boxwood pieces with the bud rosewood chess pieces lined up:
