CHAMFERED BASE, ebonised | Black Poplar & Sycamore board with Walnut border (x large)
Chamfered bases incorporated into this Staunton design lend the illusion that the chess pieces are floating on the chess board, creating a captivating visual effect. Each piece possesses a base that has been skilfully bevelled, resulting in a subtle angle along its lower edge. This craftsmanship adds a touch of elegance to the pieces and a modern twist to the set.
Size of the king: 105mm (height); 45mm (base)
Size of the pawn: 56mm (height); 34mm (base
Blend the Chamfered base chess pieces harmoniously with the black-dyed poplar and sycamore chess board, elegantly framed by a walnut border. This veneered chess board is crafted and imported from Rechapados Ferrer in Spain. Comes packaged in the distinctive individual cardboard box.
