The Conquest Walnut and Black Folding Chess Set

Traditionally Staunton Chessmen. Hand-turned and carved boxwood. 4-inch (10.16 cm) king. Two additional queens. Weighted and felted. 16.75-inch walnut and maple board. Crafted in Spain. Folding for easy storage. Rootwood burl chess piece case. Traditional Staunton Conquest chessmen in ebonised boxwood, paired with a 16.75-inch Spanish walnut board and a luxury rootwood veneer case with chrome fittings. Perhaps our most traditional Staunton set of wooden chess pieces, each Conquest chess piece is hand turned and then expertly carved from high-quality boxwood to create this exceptional set of chessmen. The darker pieces are put through an ebonising process that seeps deep into the hardwood, giving it a professional finish, while also further protecting the wood. This is a set of chessmen that will last for many years. This lovely 16.75-inch board has been crafted in Spain from walnut and maple and has a billiard cloth base that doubles as the hinge. To complement this set, we have matched it with a beautifully constructed rootwood veneer chess piece case that is lined inside with 2 plush black flocked compartments and a black flocked base. Chrome-plated quadrant hinges are inset into the cabinet, creating a clean, strong look that is robust. Quadrant hinges not only look good, but they also stop the cabinet lid from folding back too far, allowing the lid to safely rest open. The cabinet also features a contemporary looking chrome plated clasp that keeps the case closed when not in use.
