Hand-Carved Chess Set with Ebonized Boxwood

When pieces from a single wood species meet deep black finishing, something special emerges. French Staunton with ebonized boxwood is a set that commands attention through its quiet elegance.

  • Handcrafted Chess Board: Made from beech and birch with mahogany and sycamore inlays, creating a timeless elegant appearance.
  • Hand-Carved French Staunton Pieces: Boxwood, dark pieces ebonized, weighted and felted
  • Includes 2 Extra Queens: Promotions flow seamlessly
  • Folding Design: Easy to store and carry anywhere.
  • Suitable for Home and Tournament Play: Versatile set that fits all situations.

Hand-Carved French Staunton Pieces in Ebonized Boxwood

Both light and dark pieces are hand-carved from the same wood species – boxwood. The light pieces retain the wood's natural warm tone. The dark pieces are ebonized black, deep and even in color. French Staunton brings more refined lines to the classic Staunton shape while maintaining recognizability.

Boxwood is dense, substantial wood that lasts. When the pieces are also weighted with iron, they settle on the board with stability. Felt bases dampen movements to silence and keep both pieces and board surface scratch-free year after year.

Handcrafted Chess Board with Mahogany's Warmth

The board is handcrafted from beech and birch. Mahogany and sycamore inlays bring a warm, rich contrast that beautifully complements the boxwood pieces. Each square is carefully fitted – no gaps, no unevenness.

The folding design makes storage effortless. The board also works as a decorative element – the kind you don't need to hide in a cupboard when guests arrive.

One Wood, Two Ways

When both colors are carved from boxwood, the pieces feel uniform in play. Weight is the same, density the same, only color differs. Ebonizing makes the darkness deep and even – not brownish or grayish, but black.

French Staunton is an elegant choice when you want something more refined than an ordinary tournament set, but don't want to compromise on functionality. The set meets tournament standards and looks stunning on the table. Open, play, and enjoy.
