The Llamrei Staunton Chess Set takes its name from the legendary mare of King Arthur, a fitting inspiration for a design that blends timeless tradition with artistic flair. Each piece is meticulously hand carved from the finest boxwood and then artistically burnt to highlight intricate decorative patterns, creating a set that is both elegant and distinctive. The knight stands out as a centerpiece of the design, sculpted with lifelike detail including a flowing mane, bridle, and reins, showcasing the skill of master craftsmen. At 4.25" tall with a broad 1.8" base, the king commands presence on the board while maintaining perfect balance thanks to heavy weighting. Green baize pads provide a soft, cushioned feel, allowing the pieces to glide effortlessly across the squares. Two extra queens are included for pawn promotion, along with a certificate of authenticity documenting the set’s name, wood, and origin.
This heirloom-quality set is paired with our Walnut Burl & Maple Molded-Edge Chess Board, a luxury masterpiece crafted in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer. The rich walnut burl veneer features striking swirls of brown and orange grain, contrasting beautifully with light maple squares. The glossy polyurethane finish enhances the depth of the wood, while the sleek black molded edge provides a refined, modern touch. Measuring 23.5" with 2.375" squares, this board is perfectly matched to the scale of the Llamrei pieces.
With its blend of legendary inspiration, contemporary artistry, and traditional Staunton form, the Llamrei Staunton Chess Set with Walnut Burl & Maple Board is an exceptional choice for collectors and players seeking a showpiece of beauty and playability.
