Our Parker Staunton Prestige Collection Chess Set combines our Prestige Collection Macassar Ebony & Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board and box. The Parker embodies the rich history of Staunton with traditional design elements in every respect from pawn to king. The knight is masterfully carved with shape, features, and detail reminiscent of past chess set masterpieces. Carefully selected to complement one another, every component combines classic design, exceptional craftsmanship, and heirloom-quality construction.
The pieces are masterfully handcrafted one piece at a time from solid boxwood. The ebonized pieces are hand-polished to a lustrous ebony-like finish at half the price. The king is 3.75" tall with a 1.625"base and heavily weighted providing excellent stability and balance, making these pieces equally suited for competitive play, casual family games, and elegant display. Green baize pads ensure every move glides smoothly and quietly across the board, and two extra queens are included for pawn promotion during tournament play.
The centerpiece of this set is our Prestige Collection Macassar Ebony & Bird's-Eye Maple Chess Board. The rich black and burnt umber Macassar ebony creates a dramatic contrast against the warm golden tones of the bird's-eye maple. A wide Macassar ebony frame surrounds the board, while an elegant burl wood delimiter between the frame and squares adds warmth, depth, and a sophisticated finishing touch. Our exclusive Grand Piano Lacquer finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood with a crystal-clear, glass-like appearance that gives the board remarkable richness and visual depth. Measuring 19.7 inches overall with 2-inch squares, this board is perfectly proportioned for the French Lardy chess pieces.
For storing and protecting your chess pieces is our matching Prestige Collection Macassar Ebony Chess Box, crafted from genuine Macassar ebony veneer and finished in the same luxurious Grand Piano Lacquer. The striking grain of the wood is beautifully showcased beneath its crystal-clear, glass-like finish, while fine brass-plated hinges and a matching lock with key add classic elegance. Inside, thick emerald green baize lines two spacious compartments, cushioning and protecting your chessmen. Together with the matching board, the box creates a beautifully coordinated presentation worthy of your finest chess set.
