Meghdoot Chess Pieces in Bud Rosewood & Boxwood - 4" King

Chess Pieces Features

• 4" King Height and 1.75" King Base
• Pieces are hand carved from bud rosewood and boxwood for lasting quality
• Bud rosewood is extremely desirable because it is the most colorful wood used for making chess pieces and it is increasingly rare
• 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 bud rosewood 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
• Triple weighted pieces contain lead weight roughly 3 times as heavy as the raw piece; this increases the quality and value of a chess set by giving the pieces the stability and the extremely hefty feel they need for easy handling
• Bottoms are covered with leather pads so the pieces slide easily across the board without tipping over
