Golden Bordeaux-Golden Rosewood and Natural Boxwood French Knight Chess Pieces

This chess set is carved from a vibrant combination of Golden Rosewood and natural shades of Boxwood. Boxwood's reliability in chess piece construction is well known, and heavily relied upon in the modern chess market because of its strength, feel, and fine grain, which prevents cracking of the pieces. Golden Rosewood is a smooth and richly hued wood that seems to posses a vibrancy of its own. Its rich hues and dark grain add emphasis to each chessman and give it a distinguished air. The wood itself originates from various parts of Brazil and is heavier and durable.
