In the Carpathian Mountains of eastern Europe, home of the dragon and the vampire legends, artisans still draw deep from a wellspring of history dating back centuries, honoring the finest traditions in wood carving.

These unique and handsomely designed chess pieces are made of Hornbeam and Sycamore, both woods from the forests of Europe. Hornbeam (sometimes known as Ironwood) is mostly white and used for intricate and decorative carvings. Sycamore offers a dark brown, smooth textured wood, perfect for the dark pieces. The wood then meets the craftsmanship of our master artisans, resulting in the finest moderately priced chess set available in the marketplace today.

The folding chess board, made from beach and birch wood, has an insert tray for the chess pieces inside. King Height: 3.35" Case Dimensions (Folded): 16.5" x 8.25" x 2"

Good but not just as the picture

The boards is beautiful and looks a lot like the one in the picture. The bad thing about it is that the engraving on the peaces itself are not that well done. They where not worked on as much as the one in the picture. But overall the boards is great with a good size and feeling. It does feel like a good board and the visual is pleasing when playing. Recommended board for sure.
