Bucephalus Staunton Chess Set in Padauk and Boxwood with Padauk and Bird's Eye Maple Molded Edge Board - 4.5 inch King - This stunning chess set includes our Bucephalus Staunton in padauk and boxwood matched with our Padauk and Bird's-Eye Maple Molded Edge chessboard. This set is named after the famous war horse Bucephalus, that Alexander the Great rode throughout his many military conquests in the middle east. Bucephalus is a Greek name meaning ''ox head'', conjuring the image of a strong, broad and thick head. The knight was designed with this in mind creating a large but intricately detailed knight. Only the very best craftsmen can carve knights with this level of detail including eyes, nostrils, mouth, and teeth. What really stands out on this knight is the large and elegant mane flowing down the horses neck. All of the pieces are beautifully shaped with an elegant profile that forms a cohesive design from king to pawn. The lathe work is extraordinary with compound collars and eloquent lines precisely turned into the base of each piece. This is a large set with a king that is 4.5 inch tall with a 1.875 inch base. Pieces are heavily weighted and have thick green baize pads. Our Padauk and Bird's-Eye Maple Molded Edge chessboard is one of the most beautiful chessboards in our collection. The padauk is on the most beautiful woods in the world with orange-burgundy colors and with this we contrast the bird's-eye maple for the white squares. This board makes the perfect backdrop for the padauk and boxwood chess pieces. This is an inlaid chessboard handcrafted by the skilled craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer - the quality of the workmanship is unsurpassed. The squares are 2.375 inch and the overall size of the board is 23.5 inch and 0.75 inch thick. Whether you are a collector or looking for your one special chess set, you will be thoroughly pleased with Bucephalus! Chess Pieces: Padauk and Boxwood. All of the pieces are individually hand polished with solid lacquer and a buffing wheel. King Height: 4.5 inch. King Base: 1.875 inch. King Weight: 4.2 oz. Chess Set Weight: 88 oz. 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion. Green Baize Cloth Pads. Chessboard: Material: Padauk and Bird-Eye Maple Veneers and Other Wood Material.
