The rich golden-brown of the acacia and natural color of the boxwood chess pieces go perfectly with the brown stripes of the tiger ebony and maple. This is a large set with a 3.5" tall king and a base diameter of 1.625".

Our Deluxe Tiger Ebony and Maple Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the preeminent chess board manufacturer in the world. Tiger ebony is one of the most exotic and unique woods in the world with its irregular black and brown stripes from which it gets its name. The rich brown color of the acacia goes perfectly with the brown stripes of the tiger ebony while the black stripes create a soft contrast and together the acacia and boxwood pieces look stunning against the unique character of the chess board. A triple inlay (white-black-white) pinstripe around the playing area along with an extra wide frame gives the chess board an elegant look. The chess board is sealed in a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Made from the finest veneer available, the precise inlay work by the craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer is simply unsurpassed. Whether you are a collector or just looking for one special chess set to display in your home, the New Exclusive will enhance every game you play.
