EXECUTIVE | Wenge & Maple Board (medium)
This elegant chess set combines classic design with practical functionality, making it ideal for everyday players and enthusiasts alike.
It pairs the bold, earthy tones of a handcrafted Wenge and Maple board with generously sized Staunton-style pieces.
The board is meticulously crafted by Rechapados Ferrer in Spain, renowned for their superior chess boards since 1959.
The combination of dark Wenge and light Maple wood creates a striking visual contrast, while the wider Wenge border frames the playing area with distinction. The matte finish ensures smooth gameplay and long-lasting durability.
- Board size: 45cm x 45cm | Square size: 45mm | Height: 13mm
The accompanying Executive chess set is inspired by the iconic Staunton design popularised at the 1851 London International Chess Tournament.
Made from Acacia and Boxwood, each piece is hand-carved in India and fitted with a green felt base for a smooth playing experience. The larger, well-defined pieces offer excellent visibility and balance, while two extra queens are included for gameplay flexibility.
- King height: 90mm | Base: 37mm
- Pawn height: 46mm | Base: 27mm
Optional: Imported from India and handcrafted from light-coloured wood, the chess piece box offers a secure storage solution. The felt-lined interior protects pieces from scratches. Includes two internal compartments to keep your chess pieces protected, organised, and dust-free.
- Box size: 26cm x 17cm x 10cm (large)
