• 4" King Height, 1.6" King Base, 2.2” Square Size, and 21” 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
• Fine detail of the knight, king, and queen gives this set a rich appearance
• Double weighted pieces contain lead weight roughly 2 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 hefty feel they need for easy handling
• Bottoms are covered with pads so the pieces slide easily across the board without tipping over
• Rosewood and 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
• Inlaid stripe surrounds the squares, uniquely separating the frame from the playing area
• Striped grain of the rosewood gives the board character and provides a nice backdrop for the pieces
