This handcrafted chess set pairs our British Staunton in golden rosewood and boxwood with our Macassar Ebony & Maple Folding Chess Case — combining historic Staunton elegance with practical built-in storage.
Inspired by a vintage design from the old British Chess Company of the mid-1800s, these pieces feature a classic Staunton silhouette, handcrafted from golden rosewood and natural boxwood with a polished lacquer finish. The 3.5" king with a 1.5" base provides excellent stability, making the set ideal for home play. Heavily weighted with thick green baize pads, the pieces glide smoothly across the board, offering a satisfying tactile experience. This thirty-four-piece set includes two extra queens for pawn promotion, and each set comes with a Certificate of Manufacturer to guarantee authenticity and provenance.
The set is matched with our Folding Macassar Ebony & Maple Chess Case — a refined and highly functional board that also provides secure storage for your pieces. Crafted from richly grained macassar ebony and natural maple veneers, the board showcases striking contrast between deep chocolate browns and light maple squares. The 2” squares provide an ideal playing surface for the included pieces, while the 17.75” footprint offers a comfortable playing area that fits easily on most tables or desks.
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.
