'Elegance' Chess Set
with Burnt Wood Pieces

Introducing the Elegance Chess Set by Les Échiquiers du Roi, a true masterpiece that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern sophistication.

This exquisite set features chess pieces crafted from burnt boxwood and natural boxwood, creating a stunning contrast that is both visually striking and functionally superior. Designed for discerning chess enthusiasts and collectors, the Élégance Chess Set brings a touch of French luxury to your game.

Each chess piece in this set is meticulously carved from Gardenia latifolia (boxwood), with the dark pieces expertly burnt to achieve a unique, rich black finish. The light pieces retain their natural boxwood color, providing a beautiful contrast. The high-gloss varnish enhances the natural wood grain, adding an extra layer of sophistication. Weighted and felted for optimal stability and comfort during play, the set includes a total of 34 pieces, featuring two extra queens for pawn promotions.

The chessboard is a work of art, handcrafted in Europe to highlight the natural, original character of the wood. Made from ebony for the dark squares and borders, and maple for the light squares, the board features a matte finish that beautifully showcases the wood's natural grain. Measuring 48 cm x 48 cm with 50 mm squares, the board offers ample space for strategic gameplay. An elegant screen print of Les Échiquiers du Roi adorns the board, signifying its exclusivity and quality.

Completing the set is a beautifully designed storage box made from high-quality faux leather. This box is not only a practical storage solution but also a perfect match for the chess pieces and board. With dimensions of 25 cm x 18 cm x 10 cm, the compartmentalized box ensures that each piece is securely stored. The perfect alignment of the box with the overall set emphasizes the meticulous attention to detail and quality synonymous with Les Échiquiers du Roi.
