This attractive handcrafted chess set includes our French Lardy with golden rosewood and boxwood pieces matched with our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board. Our French Lardy Staunton 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 golden rosewood and boxwood are hand polished to a beautiful sheen. The French Lardy is truly a classic and an exceptional chess set for the casual game at home or tournament play.

Our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board is wonderfully handcrafted from the finest veneers and sealed in a semi-gloss polyurethane finish that both enhances and protects the character of the wood. This board features 1.75” squares and has a footprint of 17.5" and is .5” thick. We framed the squares in a wide black delimiter to both accentuate the playing area and enhance the rich color of the walnut and maple. For balance of design and visual aesthetics, we enveloped the board with a frame the full width of the squares. The precision of the inlay work across the entire chess board is remarkable. This beautiful chess board will enhance the enjoyment of every chess game you play on it.

    Pretty while practical

    Looks very nice and good for play. The pieces are just fine. You can really see the wood grain in the dark pieces. The board really stands out to me as pretty. Looks just like it does in the picture.

    This set is the perfect balance of beauty, ruggedness and affordability. It's attractive enough for display and solid enough for everyday play. The board and pieces were in perfect condition without any scuffs, cracks or chips.
