A beautifully crafted chess set featuring ebonised Staunton-style Victoria pieces and a luxurious Italian briarwood and elm chessboard with rich satin lacquer.
The chessboard features a briarwood burl, which has amazing depth of grain with really seductive patterning that holds a number of different shades of colour. The inlaid veneer squares are bordered with an elegant strip of ebony that sections off the playing area from the edge. The underside of the board features a lacquered wooden veneer and has felting pads to protect surfaces underneath.
Victoria series ebonised boxwood chess pieces are designed with the classic Staunton style in mind. However, they feature wider bases and a more concave, sweeping shank. The detailing on these pieces at this price is unbelievable - from the detailed finial of the king to the precise hand carving of the queen's crown. The process of ebonising involves chemically changing light boxwood to create a very convincing faux ebony effect. Finally, each piece is nicely weighted and has its base lined with plush green flock.
