This beautifully crafted folding chess set delivers exceptional style and remarkable value. The case is made from striking macassar ebony and maple, opening to a full 15" chessboard with 1.5" squares and closing into a compact 15" x 7.5" x 2" storage case. Smooth brass hinges and precise joinery give it a clean, premium feel whether on display or packed away.
Inside, fitted compartments securely cradle each chess piece—keeping everything organized, protected, and ready for play. The Staunton-style pieces are cast from solid metal and richly plated: warm copper for one side and cool nickel for the other. They feel substantial in the hand, offering the kind of weight, balance, and presence normally found only in far more expensive sets. The king stands 3 inches tall, and the set includes two extra queens for pawn promotion.
Attractive, durable, and exceptionally priced for a set featuring solid metal chessmen, this folding chess set is both a practical choice and a beautiful centerpiece—perfect for home, office, or travel.
