Emperor Chess Set with Rosewood & Boxwood Men and Ebony & Birdseye Maple Framed Board

Chess Set Features

3.25" King Height, 1.25" King Base, 1.75” Square Size, and 17.75” square x 0.5” deep Board Size
Pieces are hand carved from rosewood and boxwood for lasting quality
Rosewood typically is a reddish wood with a distinct grain, but color and wood grain vary from piece to piece, giving each chess set a beautiful and unique quality and making rosewood an extremely popular choice
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 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 pads so the pieces slide easily across the board without tipping over
Double queens are included so that you have 4 queens total; since the queen is the most powerful piece, it is most often chosen to replace a pawn that has reached the other side of the board, and the extra queens are to use when that happens
Ebony and birdseye maple framed board beautifully complements the light and dark wood pieces
Rounded corners and edges of the chess board give it a sleek and attractive presence
Beautiful inlaid stripe surrounds the squares, uniquely separating the frame from the playing area
Striped grain of the ebony and the swirling pattern of the birdseye maple add character to the chess board and provide an exceptional backdrop for the pieces
Packaged in WorldWise Import’s European style presentation box with individual slots to hold and protect the pieces
