This handcrafted chess set pairs our British Staunton in ebonized and natural boxwood with our Mahogany & Maple Folding Chess Case, combining timeless Staunton style with practical, portable storage.
Inspired by a vintage design from the old British Chess Company of the mid-1800s, the pieces feature a classic Staunton silhouette, handcrafted from natural boxwood and ebonized boxwood polished to an ebony-like finish. The 3.5" king with a 1" base provides excellent stability, ideal for tournament or casual play. Heavily weighted and fitted with thick green baize pads, the pieces glide smoothly across the board while offering a soft, satisfying feel. This thirty-four-piece set includes two extra queens for pawn promotion and comes with a Certificate of Manufacturer to guarantee authenticity, provenance, and enduring quality.
Our Folding Mahogany & Maple Chess Case combines classic elegance with practical design, offering a beautiful board that also provides storage inside for pieces. The board is beautifully crafted with mahogany and natural maple veneers showcasing the striking contrast between the rich orange-brown and the natural maple. The board features 2" sqaures with the board having a 17.75" square footprint that will fit most small tables or desks. Inside, you’ll find two spacious storage compartments, each lined with soft green felt to help cushion and protect your pieces during storage and transport. Two brass plated lathes tightly secure the case when closed.
This chess case will contrast beautifully with black chess pieces such as ebony or ebonized, as well as dark brown pieces. Even nicer plastic pieces are a good choice to match with this chess case. This case offers a balanced footprint—large enough for an enjoyable playing experience, yet compact enough for travel and esily store away. Refined, functional, and timeless, this folding chess case is the perfect solution for players who appreciate both craftsmanship and convenience at an amazing price.
