This handcrafted chess set pairs our British Staunton Chess Pieces with our Macassar Ebony & Maple Folding Chess Case — combining classic tournament styling with practical built-in storage. Inspired by a vintage design from the old British Chess Company, these pieces feature a traditional Staunton design, handcrafted from ebonized and natural boxwood. The 3.5" king with a 1.5" base provides excellent stability, making this set ideal for both competitive and casual play. Heavily weighted with green baize pads, the pieces move smoothly across the board, and two extra queens are included for pawn promotion. Each set comes with a Certificate of Manufacturer, ensuring authenticity and provenance.
Inside the case are two spacious storage compartments, each lined with soft green felt to help cushion and protect your pieces during storage or transport. We provide two green zipper chess piece bags to hold chess pieces and prevent them from loosely ratting around inside. Brass-plated latches secure the case firmly when closed, keeping everything safely contained. Large enough for an enjoyable playing experience yet compact enough for travel and to store away neatly. This folding chess case delivers both elegance and convenience — making it an exceptional value for players who appreciate craftsmanship and practicality.
