Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set - Ebonized and Boxwood Pieces with Elm Burl and Erable Board and Box - 4 inch King - This luxurious handcrafted chess set includes our Fierce Knight Staunton with ebonized and natural boxwood pieces matched with our Elm Burl and Erable Chessboard and Classic Elm Burl Chess Box. The Fierce Knight is a blend of contemporary and traditional Staunton design featuring knights that are carved with realistic features. The perked ears, eyes, mouth, and mane create a fierce looking countenance that gives this set its name. Made from boxwood, the ebonized pieces are polished to an obsidian black finish that is almost indistinguishable from real ebony. The king is 4 inch tall and has a base diameter of 1.75 inch. The pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chessboard and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing. We include 2 spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made. This Elm Burl and Erable Chessboard is made for The Chess Store by Italfama in Italy, the leading chess manufacturer in Europe. Elm burl is one of the most beautiful burl woods in the world with a wide range of brown-orange colors and unique burl wood patterns. The erable is whitened bird's-eye maple and looks and creates a striking contrast with the rich colors of the elm burl. This is an inlaid chessboard made from the finest quality elm burl and erable veneer and sealed with a matte polyurethane finish to protect and enhance the beauty of the wood. The precise inlay work by the craftsmen is remarkable. The chessboard has 2.125 inch squares accentuated by a black inlay delimiter and surrounded by an extra wide frame. The overall size of the board is 21.75 inch and is 0.625 inch thick. The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in elm burl veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like those used for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. There are high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. 2 keys are included in case one ever gets lost. Whether you are a collector or just looking for one special chess set for home, the Fierce Knight chess set with this beautiful chessboard is an unbeatable combination.
