Its matt finish reduces reflections and retains a natural wood appearance.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">\nThe veneer squares are individually inlaid by hand. Across the surface, the elm root shows swirling patterns, natural knotting, and brown tones ranging from light to reddish brown. The exact pattern varies from board to board.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">\nThe Toscana chess board measures 60&nbsp;cm (23.6&nbsp;in) overall and has 6.0&nbsp;cm (2.36&nbsp;in) squares. It suits chessmen with a king height of approximately 4.25\u20134.75&nbsp;in. Unlacquered pieces with a natural, hand-finished surface are an especially good match for the matt board.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">\nThe same design is available with a high-gloss lacquer as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/designchess.com\/staging\/chess-boards\/da-vinci-chess-board\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Da Vinci<\/a><\/strong> chess board.
