The Anjou - Rosewood and Boxwood Chess Set with Mahogany and Maple Chess Board

This remarkable set is carved from both dark Rosewood and natural shades of Boxwood, which has been a long-time traditional selection for fine chess piece construction. Boxwood is a strong and durable wood often found in Europe and small sections of Asia. It has a smooth feel, polishes to a brilliant sheen when buffed, and has a beautifully fine grain, which will prevent splitting and cracking of the pieces. Rosewood is known for its elegant grain and fine hues that polish to a lustrous sheen. Each piece is individually felted and weighted allowing for a no-slip and no-tip design, making the set easily manageable for both advanced and amateur players. The knight’s piece is of a French knight design, allowing for the natural craftsmanship of the carved designs to grab your attention with its gentle and smooth-cut lines. This set is a fine addition to any chess collector’s repertoire as its elegant carvings and vibrant sheen set it apart from all others. The classical boxwood, elegant rosewood, and French knight design make it both a handsome, as well as a practical, choice for nearly anyone in the market for a beautiful and reasonably priced wood-carved set. The set comes complete with a mahogany and maple chess board with finely-framed borders and gently beveled edges.
