Inspired by the legendary stallion of Simón Bolívar, the Palomo Staunton Chess Set is a breathtaking blend of artistry, tradition, and contemporary design. Handcrafted from genuine ebony polished to a deep obsidian black and premium boxwood polished to a rich luster, each piece radiates luxury. The elegant profiles, flowing collars, and spectacular hand-carved knights with flowing manes make this set stand apart from any other in our collection. The king towers at 4.4" tall with a broad 1.9" base and traditional cross formée finial, giving the set true presence on the board. Each piece is heavily weighted for perfect balance and stability, with green baize pads for smooth, quiet play. Two extra queens are included for pawn promotion, along with a certificate of authenticity.
This magnificent set is paired with our Walnut Burl & Maple Molded-Edge Chess Board, crafted in Spain by Rechapados Ferrer, the world’s premier chess board maker. The high-gloss walnut burl veneer showcases rich brown and orange grain patterns, strikingly contrasted by pristine maple squares. A black molded edge frames the board, while a fine burl inlay adds elegance and detail. With 2.375" squares and an overall size of 23.5", this luxury chess board is the perfect stage for the Palomo’s commanding ebony and boxwood pieces.
Whether you are a collector or seeking one extraordinary chess set to treasure for a lifetime, the Palomo Staunton with Walnut Burl & Maple Board is a showpiece of craftsmanship and design — a true heirloom that embodies both beauty and playability.
