Our French Lardy Staunton originates from the classic model produced by the French Lardy Chess Company many years ago. The simple and handsome design has proven a favorite for generations of chess players. The pieces are beautifully shaped with simple detail that will withstand the wear and tear of regular use. This set features a 3.25” tall king with a base of 1.375”, an ideal set for casual games at home with family and friends. Pieces have green billiard cloth pads for a soft landing on the chess board and are nicely weighted for stability. The golden rosewood and boxwood pieces are hand polished and lacquered to a beautiful luster.
Our Two-Compartment Loose Piece Chess Box is a simple and practical solution for storing chess pieces. Made of heavy cardboard, the exterior is covered with a luxurious black leather-like paper. Our gold foil stamped logo displayed on top adds a level of sophistication and will remind you where the pieces came from. Inside there are two compartments for conveniently storing each color separately and a full telescoping lid. Whether you are just starting out or have been playing for years, these beautiful Staunton wood chess pieces have everything you need and more for your game at an unbeatable price. The French Lardy continues to be one of the most popular chess sets ever made and is an excellent choice for your chess game!
