This popular handcrafted chess set pairs our German Knight Staunton chess pieces with our Mahogany & Maple Folding Chess Case — combining classic tournament styling with everyday practicality and built-in storage.
Simple is often best, and our German Knight Staunton exemplifies timeless design. Clean lines and balanced proportions give these pieces a refined yet durable character, making them ideal for daily play. Unencumbered by excessive detail, they are built to withstand years of regular use while maintaining their traditional appeal. The king stands 3.75” tall with a 1.375” base — an excellent size for tournament play or relaxed games at home. Each piece is heavily weighted for exceptional stability and finished with thick green baize pads to provide a soft cushion and allow smooth movement across the board.
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. Refined, functional, and timeless, this folding chess case is the perfect solution for players who appreciate both craftsmanship and convenience at an amazing price.
