This traditional handcrafted chess set includes our Deluxe Old Club Staunton with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board. Our Deluxe Old Club Staunton chess set is an ageless classic that for years has been a favorite with players for its distinguishable knight and traditional Staunton look. The Deluxe Old Club is often displayed on the front cover of chess books and has been used for plastic chess set models because of its popularity with club and tournament players. Our ebonized chess pieces are beautifully produced and look nearly identical to real ebony at less than half the price. Pieces are heavily weighted for stability while billiard cloth pads give the pieces a soft feel and easy to slide across the chess board. This is a medium size chess set with a 3.25" tall king - a wonderful size for the casual chess game at home.
The rich brown color of the walnut and maple chess board make a wonderful backdrop against the jet black and cream-colored boxwood pieces. This is an inlaid chess board made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain handcrafted from the finest walnut and maple veneer and sealed with a semi-gloss polyurethane finish to protect the wood. The precision of the workmanship is remarkable. The chess board has 1.75" squares accentuated by a decorative delimiter and surrounded by an extra wide frame. The overall size of the board is 17.75" and is .5" thick. Whether you are a collector, competitive player, or looking for just one special chess set for your games at home, the Deluxe Old Club along with this beautiful chess board make an outstanding combination.
