This chess set package includes our French Lardy Staunton in ebonized and natural boxwood with our Tiger Ebony and Maple Deluxe Chess Board. Our French Lardy is based on the original chess set made by the Lardy Chess Company in France from many years ago. There's nothing fancy about this chess set but it has a masculine handsomeness and a traditional Staunton look that serious chess players prefer for their everyday chess set. Pieces have green billiard cloth pads for a soft feel when moving and are properly weighted for stability on the chess board. The ebonized and natural boxwood is hand polished to a beautiful luster and they look gorgeous against the backdrop of our Tiger Ebony and Maple Deluxe Chess Board. Tiger ebony is one of the most beautiful of the exotic woods with a stunning wood grain and colors that give this wood its name. This chess board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer located just outside of Barcelona, Spain. Rechapados Ferrer is well known as the finest chess board manufacturer in the world - the craftsmanship is outstanding!
