New for 2011, the Oxford Palisander chess set combines our Oxford Sheesham and boxwood chessmen and the luxury Black Anegre, Palisander Rosewood and Maple Chess Board. The pieces themselves are constructed from solid graded Sheesham wood and have been styled with the Staunton design in mind. They feature very sleek and curved shanks which lead to a relatively wide base for chess pieces of this size. The Board is finished in an ultra smooth gloss lacquer which reflects the pieces beautifully and will look at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting.
