A compact yet luxurious chess set featuring 6.4 cm ebony and boxwood Kingsclere pieces paired with a handcrafted walnut and maple veneer storage cabinet from Italfama, Italy.
These Kingsclere chessmen are created in the classic Staunton design, known for its timeless appeal and recognisability. Each piece in this elegant set is carefully crafted from two contrasting woods, ebony and boxwood, providing a striking visual contrast which adds to the set's overall beauty.
The king measures 6.4 cm in height, and despite his diminutive size, nothing is lost in the quality or the detail. All the other pieces are proportionally sized and equally detailed to create this visually balanced and aesthetically pleasing set.
The smooth, polished surfaces of each piece highlight the natural beauty of the woods, in turn creating a luxurious feel that will elevate any game of chess.
These Kingsclere chess pieces are durable, functional and designed to withstand years of use whilst still maintaining their appearance over time. They are a perfect choice for any serious chess player, collector, or anyone looking to add a touch of sophistication and elegance to their gaming experience.
We have matched these beautiful chessmen with this equally beautiful walnut and maple veneer chess cabinet, complete with a lift-off lid and chess piece storage. Crafted by the world-renowned Italfama in Italy, this cabinet has been produced to exacting standards throughout, using only the best quality hardwood veneers and other raw materials.
Finished in a rich satin lacquer, the cabinet manages to combine the contemporary with the traditional to create a stunning showpiece that will provide years of enjoyable chess playing. The moulded edges of the cabinet are finished in a dark brown with grey flocked underneath to protect any table surfaces.
The size of each one of the 16 big spaces is: 9.5 x 4.1 cm.
The size of each one of the 16 small spaces is: 7.7 x 4.1 cm.
