These chessmen are classic Staunton from start to finish and, considering the level of finish and beauty, represent outstanding value for money. Please note that due to supply chain issues, your box may be supplied with brass clasps. Wenge wood is frequently used in modern interiors due to its parallel graining and abundance of dark, rich tones. As such, we have chosen this superb quality, extra-large chessboard, produced by master chessboard maker Rechapados Ferrer of Spain to complement the Competition Staunton Chessmen. High-grade wenge and maple veneered construction is used throughout, including the base. Modern fabrication techniques are employed to provide each board with clean, contemporary lines and critical detailing. Due to its formidable size and classic beauty, this chess set will also make a stunning focal point for your home.
