This chess set package includes a set of our Fierce Knight Staunton chess pieces in rosewood and boxwood together with our Classic Mahogany and Maple Chess Board and Classic Mahogany Chess Box. Our Fierce Knight is a blend of contemporary and traditional Staunton design featuring knights that are carved with realistic features. The perked ears, eyes, mouth, and mane create a fierce looking countenance that gives this set its name. The king is 4 tall and has a base diameter of 1.75. The pieces are triple weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board and have thick green baize pads for easily sliding from square to square and a soft feel when placing. We include 2 spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authenticity so you will always know what the chess set is, where it came from, and when it was made.Our Classic Mahogany and Maple chess board is an excellent choice for matching with rosewood and boxwood chess pieces. The rosewood pieces have a rich burgundy-brown color that look stunning against the warm orange-brown color of the mahogany. This is an inlaid chess board with the finest wood veneers and is handcrafted to exacting standards. The board is sealed in a satin polyurethane finish to protect the wood. An extra wide frame adds substantial size to the chess board and provides enough room for sitting captured pieces while a black inlay border creates a sharp delineation surrounding the playing area. The squares are 2.25 and the board measures 21 overall.The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in mahogany veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like we use for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. We used high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. We include 2 keys in case one ever gets lost.Chess Pieces: Rosewood & Boxwood; Pieces individually hand polished with solid lacquer and buffing wheel; King Height: 4; King Base: 1.75; King Weight: 3.2 oz.; Chess Set Weight: 52 oz.; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Billiard Cloth Pads; Ches Board: Material: Mahogany & Maple Veneer & Wood Materials; Finish: Satin Polyurethane (soft sheen); Square Size: 2.25; Dimensions: 21 x 21 x .5; Chess Box: Material: Mahogany Veneers & Other Wood; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Outside Dimensions: 9.75 x 6.625 x 4.25 ; Inside Dimension: 8.75 x 5.625 x 3 (1 space above in lid); High Quality Hinges and Lock - Comes with 2 Keys;
