This elegant theme chess set includes Ancient Egypt hand pained theme chess pieces matched with our Black and Ash Burl High Gloss Deluxe Chess Board. This colorful chess set is based on the ancient Egyptian empire that lasted for thousands of years. The pieces are represented by figures and artifacts from ancient Egyptian culture including Pharaoh and Queen, the Obelisk, and the Egyptian gods Horus and Mafdet. The pieces are artistically designed with fine detail to capture the essence of the characters. The pieces are cast in solid polystone, a very hard, stone-like material, and are hand painted in realistic colors by highly skilled artisans with amazing detail.
Our Black and Ash Burl High Gloss Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the largest manufacturer of high-quality chess boards in the world. This is an inlaid chess board made from black stained poplar and ash burl veneer sealed with a high gloss polyurethane finish to protect and enhance the beauty of the wood. The precision of the inlay work is remarkable. The squares are 1.75" and the overall size of the board is 17.5" and .5" thick. A triple inlay delimiter accentuates the squares from the extra-wide frame adding elegance to the design. The bottom of the board has felt pads to protect whatever surface it sits on. The story and history behind this chess set will add enjoyment to every game you play and look beautiful displayed in your home.
