The Art Deco Chessmen offer a bold and modern reinterpretation of traditional chess design. Characterised by sleek, angular silhouettes and a striking contrast of wood tones, these pieces present an ideal choice for those seeking a contemporary aesthetic within their home.
Each piece is expertly carved from solid boxwood, with the dark side undergoing an ebonisation process that transforms the wood into a deep, jet-black finish. This technique replicates the luxurious appearance of real ebony while remaining more accessible in price—offering elegance without compromise.
To complement these modernist chessmen, we’ve paired them with a deluxe chessboard crafted from black-stained poplar and light Erable (maple), a carefully selected combination that echoes the bold contrasts found in the pieces themselves. Produced in Spain by the skilled artisans at Rechapados Ferrer, this board boasts precision craftsmanship and an impeccable finish. The dramatic interplay between the dark poplar and the near-white maple inlays lends the board a refined, modernist look—perfect for stylish interiors.
Attention to detail extends to the underside of the board as well, which is completed with high-quality veneers to ensure a polished appearance from every angle. This board’s clean lines and visual contrast make it an ideal stage for the striking geometry of the Art Deco Chessmen.
To complete the ensemble, we recommend our beautifully crafted chess piece case, made from rich, dark wenge-coloured wood by the renowned family-run workshop of Manopoulos in Greece. This storage box reflects the same level of craftsmanship and design integrity as the chess pieces it is meant to hold. Featuring classic brass-coloured hinges and Manopoulos’s signature brass clasps, the case is not only functional but also adds a timeless touch of elegance.
Together, this set of Art Deco chessmen, deluxe board, and storage case represents a cohesive expression of modern luxury and traditional artisan skill—a striking addition to any home, lounge, or study.
