Very modern looking chess set. Perfect for matching with today\'s ultra glossy interiors. The Atlantic series chessmen in lacquered black and cream boxwood look simply seductive in this super high sheen finish. This is completely different from classic polished chess pieces and really catches the light and the eye! The maple and black veneer board at 21.6 inches is a perfect companion for these pieces as it keeps the contrast between dark and light to a maximum. Finished in a satin lacquer, it seems to compliment the high gloss of the pieces by avoiding being a chess set that over dazzles. The black squares are created by modern lithographic techniques resulting in lines that are pin sharp. Buy this contemporary chess set combination and save on purchasing as separate items.
