This attractive handcrafted chess set includes our German Knight with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Classic Mahogany and Maple chess board. Simple is often best and our German Knight Staunton with its simple yet attractive design is the ideal set for your everyday chess game. Unencumbered by fine detail, these chess pieces will stand up to the rigor of daily play for a lifetime. This is our midsize version with a 3.25” king and a base diameter of 1.25”, an ideal size for the casual game at home. Pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability and have thick green baize pads on the bottom for a soft cushion and allow pieces to slide smoothly across the chess board. The German Knight Staunton ranks as the most popular chess set ever made is often used in tournaments, matches, television shows, movies and featured on chess book covers.

Our Classic Mahogany 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 mahogany 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. This beautiful chess board together with our German Knight Staunton chess set makes an unbeatable combination in this size and price range.

    GERMAN KNIGHT STAUNTON CHESS SET EBONIZED & BOXWOOD PIECES WITH CLASSIC MAHOGANY CHESS BOARD - 3.25" KING

    Very pleased with this set. The chess board is straight, solid and gorgeous. The pieces are well crafted and have some weight to them. I went with the ebonized and natural pieces for the contrast and I'm glad I did. This is a great set at a great price. If you are searching for a good looking, everyday set, you will not be disappointed with this.

    Mahogany Staunton Chess set

    I gave this to my grandson as his first set and he and I both think it is beautiful in workmanship! We could not be more pleased. The box also helps him secure the pieces safely and T 9 years of age it’s kind of important . I recommend both most highly.

    it’s different than the pictures but in my opinion it’s better, the quality control wasn’t the greatest but I can live with that, overall it’s quite beautiful
