This handcrafted chess set pairs our French Lardy Staunton Chess Pieces with our Macassar Ebony & Maple Folding Chess Case — merging classic French elegance with practical built-in storage. Inspired by the iconic French Lardy design, each piece is masterfully handcrafted from solid golden rosewood and natural boxwood, showcasing rich warm tones and striking natural grain. The 3.75" king with a 1.5" base offers excellent stability, making the set perfect for casual games, family play, or spirited matches with friends. Heavily weighted and fitted with green billiard cloth pads, the pieces glide smoothly and quietly across the board. Hand-polished with a traditional lacquer finish, the set combines beauty, durability, and tactile satisfaction. Two extra queens are included for pawn promotion, and each set comes with a Certificate of Manufacture to ensure authenticity.
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.
