Blackmore Sheesham and Mahogany Chess Set

This distinctive chess set combines the Blackmore Series Sheesham chess pieces with a high quality Maple and Mahogany board. The chess pieces have been sourced from a renowned group of craftsmen who are recognized as the world's finest producer of wood chess pieces. They have been carefully made from clean grain Boxwood and Sheesham - a rich wood defined by exceptional grains and tones. The design of the chess pieces includes a very distinctive shank. While the style is Staunton, the straight shanks have become curved, and vice versa. This makes the rook appear as the most original in the set, with a smooth curved body, as opposed to its usual tapered design. Each piece is weighted at their bases to just the right degree of balance.

The Spanish wood chess board is constructed from veneers of European Mahogany and Maple and is finished with a fine satin lacquer. This is a large set at almost 22 inches and it will certainly draw attention.
