This chess set package includes our New Exclusive Staunton Chess Set in acacia wood and boxwood together with our Tiger Ebony and Maple Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. Our New Exclusive Staunton has a Jaques-esque design with all of the features avid chess players and collectors looks for in an upper-end Staunton chess set. The pieces have an elegant profile and the knight is beautifully sculpted with fine detail. The rich golden-brown of the acacia and natural color of the boxwood chess pieces go perfectly with the brown stripes of the tiger ebony and maple. This is a large set with a 4 tall king and a base diameter of 1.875. The pieces are triple weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing down. Our Deluxe Tiger Ebony and Maple Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the preeminent chess board manufacturer in the world. Tiger ebony is one of the most exotic and unique woods in the world with its irregular black and brown stripes from which it gets its name. The rich brown color of the acacia goes perfectly with the brown stripes of the tiger ebony while the black stripes create a soft contrast and together the acacia and boxwood pieces look stunning against the unique character of the chess board. A triple inlay (white-black-white) pinstripe around the playing area along with an extra wide frame gives the chess board an elegant look. The chess board is sealed in a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Made from the finest veneer available, the precise inlay work by the craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer is simply unsurpassed.The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in walnut veneer and the interior is lined with thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost. Whether you are a collector or just looking for one special chess set to display in your home, the New Exclusive will enhance every game you play.Chess Pieces: Acacia Wood & boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 4; King Base: 1.875; King Weight: 3.4 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 64 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Cloth Pads; Chess Board: Material: Tiger Ebony & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Triple Black & Maple Delimiter Around Squares; Square Size: 2.125 (55mm); Overall Dimensions: 21.5 x .5 Thick; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Woods; Lining: Thick Green Baize (same material as the pads on the chess pieces); Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Silver Plated Lock and Hinges (includes 2 keys); Outside Dimensions: 9.75 x 6.625 x 4.25 ; Inside Dimension: 8.75 x 5.625 x 3 (1 space above in lid);
