Traditional Storage for Fine Chessmen

A good set of chess pieces deserves an equally considered place in which to keep it. This solid wood chess box combines traditional styling with a simple and practical interior, providing generous storage while remaining compact enough to sit comfortably alongside a chess board.

Chess pieces are traditionally laid horizontally within a storage box rather than stored standing upright. This allows the box to accommodate substantially larger chessmen than its external height might initially suggest. With its generous internal space, this model is suitable for a complete set featuring a king of up to 4.4 inches (11.2 cm).

The open single-compartment design allows the pieces to be arranged naturally inside the box, making it particularly well suited to substantial Staunton, tournament and reproduction chess sets.

Solid Wood Construction

Crafted from solid wood, the box has the warmth and character expected of a traditional chess accessory. The gently shaped lid showcases the natural grain of the timber, while the clean lines of the body give the box an understated appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary chess sets.

Brass-coloured hardware provides an attractive contrast against the timber. A traditional key-operated lock sits centrally on the front, while sturdy hinges and lid-support fittings complete the interior.

Natural Character

Real wood is naturally individual. Variations in grain pattern, figuring and colour are therefore to be expected from one box to another. These differences are part of the character of genuine timber and mean that every chess box has its own subtly individual appearance.

Practical, handsome and traditionally styled, this solid wood chess box provides an ideal finishing touch for a quality set of Staunton chessmen.
