The Manohara
Ebony and Boxwood Chess Pieces
Manohara means "Elegant" in India. It is a fitting description of this graceful hand-carved chess set. The
light pieces are hand crafted from select Boxwood, and the dark pieces are
carved from Ebony and have a lustrous sheen. It would be difficult to find a more splendid wood than Ebony for the
black pieces in chess sets. The texture of the wood is fine and even
making it a true pleasure to hold in your hand. The deep luster and
total blackness of the wooden blocks make for exceptional, true black
chess pieces, and therefore Ebony is the most traditional wood used in
chess pieces of the finest quality.Definitely collectible, the Manohara chess pieces are handcrafted in minute detail - just look at the
exquisite King and Queen pictured above. One can easily imagine the labor involved. The
exotic King stands 4 inches tall, with a base of 1.5 inches.
