Imperial Chess Set with Ebony & Boxwood Men and Black & Ash Board

• 4" King Height, 1.5" King Base, 2.2” Square Size, and 21” square x 0.5” deep Board Size
• Pieces are hand carved from ebony wood and boxwood for lasting quality
• Ebony wood is extremely desirable because it is the wood traditionally used to make black and white chess sets and because pieces made of it can be polished to a shiny finish
• 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 dark ebony 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
• Finely detailed pieces give 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
• Black and ash wood board beautifully complements the light and dark wood pieces
• Rounded corners and edges of the chess board give it a sleek and attractive presence
• Black and white squares provide a striking contrast and give this set a classic look
• Inlaid stripe surrounds the squares, uniquely separating the frame from the playing area
• Beautiful grain pattern of the ash wood gives the board character and provides a superb backdrop for the pieces
• Packaged in WorldWise Import’s European style presentation box with individual slots to hold and protect the pieces
