Description
Every piece in both versions of this set is fully hand-crafted and finished with a brass inlay that catches the light and marks each one as something made with genuine care. The brass detail is the signature of the King's range - visible, precise and consistent from pawn to king.
The Small version features sycamore pieces on a clean folding board with a fitted insert tray - precise, elegant and compact at 49 x 24.5 cm. The Large steps up to hornbeam and cherry wood pieces, a burned board with gothic alphanumeric notation and felt-lined compartments — the full premium version of the same design, with a king at 12 cm that commands the board.
Same craftsmanship, same brass finish, two levels of detail.

Designed for discerning chess enthusiasts, this chessboard combines traditional craftsmanship with hand-selected rosewood and boxwood - each piece individually inspected to ensure perfect balance, an impeccable finish and a perfectly flat board.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every piece is hand-turned from carefully selected hardwood, chosen for its density, natural grain and long-term resistance to wear. The board and pieces are then finished with multiple layers of lacquer, applied by hand, to protect the surface and give each piece its characteristic depth and weight. Unlike mass-produced sets where the finish chips within months, the lacquer on our sets is built to withstand years of regular play without fading, cracking or losing its feel. This is wood selected to last — not to impress once and deteriorate quietly.
Every single piece is individually inspected before leaving our hands. We check for scratches, balance and finish - no set ships without passing our quality control. If anything falls short of perfect, we'll make it right immediately.

Yes. Each piece is individually weighted with a proportionate base, so they sit firmly on the board and won't topple at the slightest touch - even during longer, more intense games.
