A wonderful chess set of complimentary woods. The board is
handmade in Spain, constructed from light Rosewood and Maple veneer and finished in an extra thick coating of deep satin lacquer. The Rosewood woodgrain has amazing depth of grain with really seductive lines that holds a number of different shades of colour. Rich crimsons follow deep reds, follow rich red browns. The inlaid veneer squares are bordered with an elegant strip of Ebony that sections of the playing area from the edge. The underside of the board features a satin lacquered wooden veneer.
The Sicilian series chessmen are a wonderful interpretation of the Staunton design. They have been expertly carved by one of the worlds finest wooden chess piece makers from graded rosewood and boxwood, each piece is double weighted. There has been no compromise in the design or manufacture of these fine Staunton chess pieces -the consistency of the carvings, uniformity of size and the matching of the wood tones is all first class.
