Our luxury chessmen are crafted to the highest possible standards from rare and exotic woods. Some of these woods are endangered and the chessmen are made from old existing stocks of the wood, in some cases stored for over a decade. The price of these materials is rising significantly, and within the next ten years, the export of products made from these materials may end due to supply issues.
Some of our sets are already matched with a chess piece storage case, but not all. Each product listing has a 'What's included' list under the images. If a storage box is not included, you will see a selection of recommended cases when you add it to the basket.
