This attractive handcrafted chess set includes the Sunrise Traditional Staunton with walnut stained and natural pieces matched with our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. Traditional Staunton Chess Pieces combine affordability with handcrafted charm that will prove perfect for any chess game. With a simplistic and enduring design unencumbered by fine detail, these pieces are built to last, ensuring countless memorable chess games. This is a regulation 32-piece set with a 3.8-inch-tall king and a 1.5-inch base, made from schima wallichii wood and with a protective matte lacquer finish.
Our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board is wonderfully handcrafted from the finest veneers and sealed in a semi-gloss polyurethane finish that both enhances and protects the character of the wood. This board features 2” squares and has a footprint of 19.5" and is .5” thick. We framed the squares in a wide black delimiter to both accentuate the playing area and enhance the rich color of the walnut and maple. For balance of design and visual aesthetics, we enveloped the board with a frame the full width of the squares. The precision of the inlay work across the entire chess board is remarkable. This beautiful chess board will enhance the enjoyment of every chess game you play on it.
The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in high quality walnut veneer and the interior is lined with thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We use plated high quality brass plated recessed hinges and a lock for securing the lid. The box is sealed with semi-gloss polyurethane just like the chess board.
