A Classic German-Style Chess Set
This complete chess set brings together one of the most familiar and practical interpretations of the Staunton design. The classic German-style chessmen are recognised for their balanced proportions, clearly defined profiles and comfortable playing characteristics.
The design is equally suited to casual games, serious study and regular club play. Each piece can be identified immediately across the board, while the traditional form gives the set an understated and timeless appearance.
The light army is crafted from natural boxwood, while the opposing pieces are made from acacia wood. This creates a warm and attractive contrast while preserving the natural character and grain of both timbers.
45 cm Walnut and Maple Chessboard
The chessmen are paired with a handsome 45 cm walnut and maple chessboard. The warm walnut colouring provides an attractive contrast against the lighter maple squares, creating a clear and comfortable playing surface.
Its generous overall size provides ample space for the chess pieces, allowing each piece to sit naturally on the board without the position appearing crowded. The result is a well-balanced combination suitable for both practical play and display.
The natural tones of the walnut and maple complement the boxwood and acacia chessmen particularly well, giving the complete set a cohesive and traditional appearance.
Weighted and Felted Chess Pieces
Each chess piece is well weighted at the base to provide improved stability throughout the game. The added weight gives the pieces a more substantial and reassuring feel when lifted and moved, while helping to reduce accidental knocks during play.
The undersides are lined with protective felt, allowing the chessmen to move smoothly across the playing surface and helping to protect the board from scratches and unnecessary wear.
Two additional queens are included, ensuring that both players have an extra queen available should a pawn reach the opposite side of the board and be promoted.
Solid Mahogany Slide-Lid Storage Box
A solid mahogany storage box completes the set. Its traditional slide-lid design provides a practical and attractive place to store the chess pieces safely between games.
The rich colour and natural grain of the mahogany complement the walnut chessboard and acacia chessmen, creating a refined presentation suitable for display, storage or gifting.
Combining a classic German-style design, a generous 45 cm walnut and maple board, stable weighted chessmen and a solid mahogany storage box, this complete set is an excellent choice for players seeking traditional styling, dependable playing quality and lasting appeal.
