A beautifully balanced complete chess set featuring a Spanish-made 15.75-inch walnut and maple chessboard, our 3.25-inch British acacia and boxwood chessmen, and a solid mahogany slide-lid storage box.
Set Features
British Acacia and Boxwood Chessmen
At the heart of this set are our British Staunton chessmen, crafted from natural boxwood for the light army and warm-toned acacia for the opposing pieces. The design combines familiar Staunton proportions with a distinctly traditional appearance, making the set easy to play with and attractive enough for permanent display.
The 3.25-inch king gives the set a balanced medium-sized presence, offering comfortable handling without overwhelming the board. Each piece is clearly defined across the playing surface, making the set suitable for casual games, regular study and more serious play.
The natural grain and colouring of the acacia provide a handsome contrast against the lighter boxwood pieces, creating a warm and cohesive presentation.
Spanish-Made Walnut and Maple Chessboard
The chessmen are paired with a refined 15.75-inch walnut and maple chessboard made in Spain. Crafted using precisely laid wood veneers, the board offers clean lines, carefully defined playing squares and a timeless combination of warm walnut and light maple tones.
Each square measures 1.75 inches, providing an excellent fit for the 3.25-inch king. These proportions allow the chessmen to sit comfortably within each square without appearing crowded, resulting in a clear and balanced playing position.
The walnut board complements the acacia and natural boxwood chessmen particularly well, giving the complete set a harmonious and traditionally styled appearance.
Weighted and Felted for Stable Play
Each chess piece is well weighted at the base to provide improved stability and a more substantial feel in the hand. This added weight helps reduce accidental knocks while giving each move a smooth and reassuring quality.
The undersides are finished with protective felt, allowing the pieces to move smoothly across the board while helping to protect the playing surface from scratches and everyday wear.
The combination of balanced weighting, comfortable proportions and felted bases makes this set equally suitable for relaxed home games, study sessions and regular use.
Solid Mahogany Slide-Lid Storage Box
A solid mahogany storage box completes the set. Its traditional slide-lid construction provides a practical and attractive way to keep the chessmen safely stored between games.
The rich natural colour and grain of the mahogany complement both the walnut chessboard and the warm acacia chessmen, creating a coordinated presentation suitable for storage, display or gifting.
Combining Spanish chessboard craftsmanship, our British acacia and boxwood chessmen, stable weighted construction and solid mahogany storage, this complete chess set offers an excellent balance of traditional style, dependable playing quality and everyday value.
