ID 1352753720 Deluxe Old Club Staunton Chess Set Ebonized & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut Board & Box - 375" King
This attractive handcrafted chess set includes our Deluxe Old Club with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Classic Walnut and Maple Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. Our Deluxe Old Club is an ageless classic that for years has been a favorite with players for its distinguishable knight and traditional Staunton design. The Deluxe Old Club is often displayed on the front cover of countless chess books and has been used for plastic chess set models because of its popularity with club and tournament players. This is a tournament size set with a 3.75" tall king and a base of 1.625". Pieces have green billiard cloth pads for a soft landing on the chess board and are nicely weighted for stability. We include a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made.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 walnut veneer and the interior is lined with a 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 used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost.Chess Pieces: Ebonized & Natural Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 3.75"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 2.5 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 56 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Includes Certificate of Authenticity; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Black Inlay Border Around Playing Area; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Square Size: 2"; Overall Dimensions: 19.5" x 19.5" x .5"; Felt Bottom; Chess Box: Material: Walnut Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 8.25" x 5.625" x 3.75" ; Inside Dimension: 7.25" x 4.5" x 2.5" (.75" space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;
