A unique take on the classic Staunton style. Intricate carving on burnt boxwood. 3.75 inch (95 mm) king. Weighted for perfect balance. Presented with a beautiful high gloss board. It\'s as if our 20 inch (50 cm) Black Anegre and Palisander Deluxe Chess Board was created just for these pieces. The dark and golden tones, achieved by burning the boxwood prior to carving, are complemented by the similar tones in the beautiful high gloss Spanish board. This burning method together with the varnish finish gives these pieces a striking and luxurious effect and makes them ornamental in their own individual way. Together with the board, The Regency Chess Company are proud to present a highly desirable chess set and something just that little bit different.
