Chess Set: The Vicomte Chess Pieces on Beach & Maple Chess Board

The Vicomte Chess Pieces
Beach & Maple Chess Board

The Chess Pieces:

The Vicomte chess pieces are carved from a vibrant combination of golden rosewood and natural shades of boxwood. Boxwood's reliability in chess piece construction is well known, and heavily relied upon in the modern chess market because of its strength, feel, and fine grain (which prevents cracking of the pieces).

The Knight is a French-design, with smooth carving lines that emphasize the grain of the wood, as well as the aesthetics of the Knight pieces. All chess pieces are felted and weighted, allowing for easy handling and gripping during game-play. This set is certainly an ageless one as its beauty and luster are unmistakable, and its fair pricing bears the consumer in mind.
