Bridle Knight Staunton Chess Pieces in Sheesham & Boxwood - 4.5" King

Chess Pieces Features

• 4.5" King Height and 1.9" King Base
• Pieces are hand carved from sheesham wood and boxwood for lasting quality
• Sheesham wood ranges in color from dark to light brown; it is easier to carve than other woods and is more readily available making it a popular choice for relatively inexpensive chess sets
• Boxwood ranges in color from a yellowish white to a yellowish brown, has almost no visible wood grain, and is often used to make the white pieces in wood chess sets
• Light boxwood and darker sheesham wood pieces give this set a beautiful contrast for display or for easy identification during play
• Traditional Staunton style of the pieces is a classic chess set design
• Exquisite detail of the knight, king, and queen gives this set a rich and elegant appearance
• Heavily weighted pieces contain extra lead weight inside them, which increases the quality and value of the chess set by giving the pieces the stability and the extremely hefty feel they need for easy handling
• Bottoms are covered with pads so the pieces slide easily across the board without tipping over
