Our Deluxe Old Club Prestige Collection Chess Set combines one of the most popular Staunton designs ever made with our Prestige Collection chess board. This timeless classic with its unique knight and traditional Staunton features has been a favorite for generations. This complete set includes our library-size Deluxe Old Club Chess Pieces in genuine ebony and natural boxwood, matched with our Prestige Collection Macassar Ebony & Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board. Carefully selected to complement one another, the board and pieces combine classic design, exceptional craftsmanship, and heirloom-quality construction.
The pieces are masterfully handcrafted one piece at a time from solid ebony and boxwood. The ebony pieces are hand-polished to a lustrous obsidian-black finish, while the natural boxwood pieces have a warm maple-color tone with subtle grain. The king is 3.25" tall with a 1.375"base and heavily weighted providing excellent stability and balance, making these pieces ideal for your casual chess game at home. Green baize pads ensure every move glides smoothly and quietly across the board, and two extra queens are included for pawn promotion during tournament play.
The centerpiece of this set is our Prestige Collection Macassar Ebony & Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board. The rich black and burnt umber Macassar ebony creates a dramatic contrast against the warm golden tones of the bird's-eye maple. A wide Macassar ebony frame surrounds the board, while an elegant burl wood delimiter between the frame and squares adds warmth, depth, and a sophisticated finishing touch. Our exclusive Grand Piano Lacquer finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood with a crystal-clear, glass-like appearance that gives the board remarkable richness and visual depth. Measuring 17.7 inches overall with 1.75-inch squares, this board is perfectly proportioned for the French Lardy chess pieces.
Combining the timeless appeal of the Deluxe Old Club chessmen with the exceptional beauty of our Prestige Collection board, this is a chess set designed to be admired as much as it is played. Whether displayed in a study, library, or living room, or enjoyed during countless games with family and friends, its striking natural woods, luxurious finishes, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship create a centerpiece that will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and become a treasured part of your home.
