Crafted from single blocks. Solid rosewood. Hand polished. Weighted and felted. 3.75 inch (95 mm) king. Available in other sizes and woods. Perfect with a 20 inch (50 cm) board. The Atlantic Series Rosewood Chessmen are individually made from single blocks of solid rosewood, giving them a durable construction that is sure to last for generations. Within this Regency Chess favourite there are some really remarkable chess pieces, including a hatted bishop and a staunch, columned rook. The knights have small, neat ears and a toothy smile; their character shines through in abundance thanks to a solid carving that is done by hand by our partner craftsmen. While these pieces do represent a highly sophisticated addition to your dresser or display cabinet they are also a pleasure to play chess with and will endure plenty of lengthy games. These superb chess pieces have been finished with a fine hand polish, a time consuming process that results in a lacquer free natural shine to the beautiful rosewood that they are carved from. These chessmen will sit perfectly on a chess board with a square size of 2 inches (51 mm) or greater. Our 20 inch (50 mm) chess boards will complement this set perfectly. This Atlantic shape is one of the most popular here at the Regency Chess Company and is available in a number of other sizes and hard woods.
