This crafted wooden chess set has been fashioned from solid ebony, rosewood and boxwood. The result is a stunning set with a beautiful board and finely detailed chess pieces. The cabinet is made from the luxurious Rosewood has plush individual compartments for each piece. The finely inlaid squares are ebony and Maple which lends itself nicely to a real black and white chequer board pattern.
The white chess pieces are carefully carved out of boxwood in the classic Staunton style while their opponents are fashioned in ebonised Boxwood. A really stunning chess set made from dense and fine materials. One of a small quantity we have managed to secure. An ideal gift for chess collectors and enthusiasts, a set which will no doubt provide years of use and will age well.

A very nice set indeed, particularly the board which is very well crafted. Slightly let down by cheapish clasps and some sort of poorly disguised foam insert for the storing the pieces. All in all a good purchase and a very nice chess set to last me a lifetime :-)

Service was prompt and the delivered package was brilliantly wrapped. Took about 10 min just to get all the wrapping off! The chess board itself is beautiful but the chess pieces feel a little on the light for the price. Still, I'm sure my 9 year old son will be delighted with it as a Christmas present. I would most certainly buy again from The Regency Chess Company.
