This handcrafted chess set pairs our French Lardy Staunton in ebonized and natural boxwood with our Mahogany & Maple Folding Chess Case, combining classic Staunton elegance with practical, portable storage.
Inspired by the iconic French Lardy design, the 3.75" pieces are expertly handcrafted from ebonized boxwood and natural boxwood. The rich ebony-black tones of the dark pieces beautifully contrast with the creamy natural boxwood, creating a striking and timeless look. The 3.75" king with a 1.5" base provides excellent stability, while thick green billiard cloth pads ensure smooth, quiet movement across the board. Hand-polished and lacquered for long-lasting shine, each piece is built to withstand years of play. Two extra queens are included for pawn promotion, making this set both practical and visually stunning, whether for casual games at home or spirited matches with friends.
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.
