Chess Set "Paris at Dusk" - Staunton Chess Pieces "French Staunton" & Chessboard "Wenge Deluxe"

This chess set contains the Staunton chess pieces "French Staunton" and the chessboard "Wenge Deluxe".

The "French Staunton" chess piece set is distinguished by its popular French design, which is regularly used in both tournaments and club chess. The centrepiece of this set is undoubtedly the knight. With its masterfully hand-carved details and clear lines, it conveys a deep passion for the game of chess. Each individual chess piece has been meticulously turned and then hand-refined, highlighting intricate details perfectly. Thanks to the felt lining and additional weight, these pieces not only offer a pleasant tactile experience but also ensure secure and precise chess moves.

In the manufacturing of the chess pieces, boxwood in both natural and ebonized forms was used, particularly to achieve the deep black of the pieces. With a king's height of 99 mm, the chess set meets the standards for chess tournaments, making it the ideal choice for competitions at the highest level or as an addition to a private collection. The set naturally includes additional queens, enabling smooth pawn promotions without the need for replacement pieces.

The "Wengé Deluxe" chessboard complies with all the standards for chess tournaments and offers a high degree of elegance and timeless beauty. With its 55 mm square sizes, it allows for precise chess moves and provides clarity in the course of the game. With an imposing overall size of 550 mm, it is not only suitable for competitions but can also serve as a decorative highlight in any chess collection.

Its wenge-coloured surface creates a fascinating contrast to the bright squares, imparting timeless aesthetics to the game. A broad frame and clear lines delineate the playing area, establishing an orderly and focused gaming environment.
