Imperial Chess Set with Sheesham & Boxwood Men and Dark Rosewood & Maple Framed Board

Chess Set Features

4" King Height, 1.5" King Base, 2” Square Size, and 17.3” 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
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
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
Dark rosewood and maple framed board beautifully complements the light and dark wood pieces
Striped grain of the dark rosewood 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
