The Victoria Series Ebonised Boxwood and Boxwood Chessmen seem to fly out from the Regency Chess headquarters at Christmas - more so than any other pieces.

Undoubtedly the combination of quality craftsmanship with an affordable price is amongst the reasons for their success. It is no secret here at Regency Chess that the Victoria chessmen are one of our best value products.

The detailing really is superb, with each piece is nicely weighted with green flocked bases. At 3.75 inches (95 mm) the king is of competition size and all of the black pieces are subjected to an ebonising process that makes them look exactly like real ebony, without the associated price tag.

To showcase these rather special pieces, we have chosen a beautifully finished, high gloss lacquered large chess board produced by renowned Spanish chess board maker Rechapados Ferrer. Quality grey Ash Burl and Maple veneers and fabrication techniques are used and this makes for a chess board with clean lines and meticulous attention to detail. The Ash has a beautiful marbled burl grain that seems to jump when the light catches it. Perfect for accompanying the Victoria Series Ebonised Chess Men.

The chess board in this set has been expertly crafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain using precision laser cutting techniques and stunning wooden veneers combined with expert lacquering and finishing. The underside of the board is finished in a satin veneer that is a different colour from the playing surface of the board. The veneers used for the underside may vary in colour from batch to batch.
