This luxury chess set pairs our Marengo Staunton pieces in genuine ebony and boxwood with the spectacular Walnut Burl & Maple Molded-Edge chess board from Rechapados Ferrer of Spain. Named after Napoleon’s famous Arabian stallion, the Marengo takes Staunton design to a new level with its refined artistry and commanding presence. Each piece is masterfully handcrafted by elite carvers—the knight, with its flowing mane and downward-turned head, is a standout, sculpted with lifelike detail that few artisans in the world can replicate. From pawn to king, the elegant profiles, flawless lathe work, and hand-polished lacquer finish create a set of exceptional beauty and balance. The king stands an impressive 4.25" tall with a wide 1.875" base, crowned by an ornate finial unique to this design. Weighted for stability and fitted with green billiard cloth pads, the pieces glide smoothly across the board. Two spare queens are included, along with a certificate of authenticity.
The board is equally extraordinary. Crafted in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer, the world’s premier maker of wood chess boards, it features rich walnut burl and striking maple squares with a sleek black molded edge for a refined finish. A soft-sheen polyurethane surface enhances the wood’s natural beauty, while precision inlay work showcases the brand’s unmatched craftsmanship. With its 2.375" (60 mm) squares and 23.5" overall size, this board is perfectly matched for the large Marengo pieces, creating a chess set that commands attention as both a playing experience and a display piece.
