Step into chess history with our Zagreb Series chess pieces matched with our Prestige Macassar Ebony and Bird’s-Eye Maple Chess Board. The Zagreb is a timeless design celebrated worldwide since its debut at the 1959 World Championship Candidates Match in Zagreb. Known for its bold elegance and distinctive style, this set brings both prestige and chess history to your chessboard.
Each piece is expertly handcrafted from solid boxwood. The ebonized pieces are polished to a lustrous obsidian-black luster that resembles genuine ebony at a fraction of the cost. The boxwood pieces have a warm maple-color tone with subtle grain, the perfect complement to the chess board. The king, queen, and bishops have finials in the opposite color, a hallmark of Eastern European chess design. One of the set’s most distinctive features is the knight: its gracefully arched neck and turned-down head give it a unique posture that sets the Zagreb apart from other sets. This is a large tournament-size set with a 3.875-inch tall king and a 1.625-inch base. The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional balance and stability and have thick green baize pads for smooth, quiet movement across the board.
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. The board measures 21.7 inches overall and has 2.125-inch squares.
