The Grand Taj Chess Set
Rosewood Chess Pieces
The Grand Taj Chess Set - includes Cherry Wood Box
and Free USA Shipping! East meets West in
this unique tournament-size, weighted and felt padded chess
set. The Grand Taj chess set features a full 3.75" King with a 1.675"
diameter base, each piece a remarkable tribute to eastern
design, as personified in the Taj Mahal. Note the rounded "onion
dome" aspect of the chessmen, yet with a traditional almost
Staunton-like feel.
The
White pieces are carved from the finest Boxwood, while the Black chess
pieces are made from a deep brown, rich Rosewood, both providing fine
and even texture. This lustrous Rosewood has a classic marbled look,
with excellent natural finish and polish characteristics, giving the
Grand Taj chess set its heirloom appearance. The King
proudly displays the wonderful handiwork of a skilled artisan in its
rounded crown and finial. The double cross pinnacle adds special
interest to this magnificent set.
The Grand
Taj chessmen are handcrafted in intricate detail by the finest
artisans - you can plainly see the impressive workmanship in each
piece. You will enjoy this unique, but traditional set for years to
come! 
The Grand Taj chess pieces come housed in a cherry wood box with clasp for closure. The inside is lined in billard green felt and divided for dark and light piece compartments.
