German Knight Chess Set with Sheesham & Boxwood Men and Walnut & Maple Board - 3.75" King

Chess Set Features

• 3.75" King Height, 1.5" King Base, 2” Square Size, and 17” square x 0.5” deep Board Size
• 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
• Single weighted pieces contain lead weight roughly as heavy as the raw piece; this gives them the hefty feel of a top-quality chess set, and provides stability and easy handling
• Bottoms are covered with pads so the pieces slide easily across the board without tipping over
• Walnut and maple framed board beautifully complements the light and dark wood pieces
• Striped grain of the walnut wood gives the board character and provides a nice backdrop for the pieces
• Packaged in WorldWise Import’s European style presentation box with individual slots to hold and protect the pieces
