This chess set package includes our Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. The Fierce Knight is a blend of contemporary and traditional Staunton design featuring knights that are carved with realistic features. The perked ears, eyes, mouth, and mane create a fierce looking countenance that gives this set its name. The ebonized pieces are polished to an obsidian black finish and has no visible grain while the cream colored natural boxwood is the perfect wood for the white chess pieces. The king is 3" tall and has a base diameter of 1.5". The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing. We include 2 spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made.Our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the manufacturer of the highest quality inlaid chess boards in the world. Made from premium grade walnut and maple veneer, the precision of the craftsmen inlay work is remarkable. The squares are 1.75" and the overall size of the board is 17.5" and .5" thick. A triple inlay delimiter accentuates the playing area from the extra wide frame that is the full width of a square. The board is sealed with a matte polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood.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. The Fierce Knight with this beautiful chess board makes an excellent chess set to both leave out for décor and playing a serious chess game.Chess Pieces: Ebonized & Natural Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 3"; King Base: 1.5; King Weight: 1.8 Ounces; Chess Set Weight: 32 Ounces; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Matte Polyurethane Finish; Triple Inlay Delimiter Around Squares; Square Size: 1.75"; Overall Dimensions: 17.5" x 17.5" x .5" Thick; Made for The Chess Store by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain; Chess Box: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Triple Inlay Delimiter Around Squares; Square Size: 2.125"; Outside Dimensions: 7" x 4.75" x 3" ; Inside Dimension: 6" x 3.75" x 2.25" (.5" space above in lid);
