This colorful chess set includes our Parker Art Deco chess pieces matched with our Blue Ash Burl and Erable High Gloss Chess Board. The Parker features a classic style with handsome knights that have the look and feel of an old Jaques design. These are handcrafted boxwood pieces that are painted red and blue and then have a swirly design applied to create a unique look for each piece. This is regulation size set with a 3.75 king and a 1.625 base. The pieces are heavily weighted and have green felt pads for a soft feel on the chess board. We include two extra queens for pawn promotion. Our Blue Ash Burl and Erable Deluxe Chess Board is the perfect board for these pieces. The blue stained ash burl creates a mix of various blue colors and beautifully accentuates the character of the wood grain. The high gloss polyurethane finish further enhances the elegance and beauty of the wood by creating a glass-like appearance. A triple inlay (white-black-white) pinstripe around the playing area along with an extra wide frame adds elegance to already spectacular chess board. Made from the finest veneer available, the precise inlay work by the craftsmen of Rechapados Ferrer is simply unsurpassed!
