Zagreb Series Chess Set Golden Rosewood & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut & Maple Delux Board & Box – 3.875 King

Description

This chess set package includes our Zagreb Series Chess Set with golden rosewood and boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board and Classic Walnut Chess Box. Our Zagreb originates from the chess set designed for the 1950 Chess Olympiad held in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia. This set stands out from other Staunton designs with its opposite color tops on the king, queen, and bishop and the unique and handsome knight with its graceful curves and down-turned head. Our ebonized chess pieces are beautifully produced and look nearly identical to real ebony at less than half the price. This is a tournament size set with a 3.875 tall king and a base diameter of 1.625. The pieces have thick green baize pads so they slide smoothly across the chess board and are heavily weighted for stability. Our Walnut and Maple Deluxe Chess Board is made for us by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, the manufacturer of the highest quality inlaid chess boards in the world. Made from premium grade walnut and maple veneer, the precision of the craftsmen inlay work is remarkable. The squares are 2.125 and the overall size of the board is 21.5 and .5 thick. A triple inlay delimiter accentuates the playing area from the extra wide frame that is the full width of a square. The board is sealed with a matte polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood.Our Classic Walnut Chess Box is the perfect chess box for storing chessmen. It has an old world-charm with its lock and key for securing the lid and an emerald green baize interior with a divider in the center for separating the two colors. This is an inlaid wood box with a beautiful walnut veneer on the outside finished with a satin polyurethane for a rich shine.
