The Chevalier<\/strong> chess pieces are handcrafted in India and available in three combinations: ebony with boxwood, padauk with boxwood, and the distinctive pairing of ebony with padauk. All versions are unlacquered, allowing the natural character of each wood to remain visible.<\/p>\n

With a king height of 4.4\u00a0in, the pieces are weighted for steady handling during play. One of the set\u2019s most unusual details is the choice of king finials: four individually carved, interchangeable designs are included for each colour.<\/p>\n

The knight is the most intricately carved piece, while the others have more restrained profiles. The king base diameter is 5.0\u00a0cm (1.97\u00a0in), and the pawn base diameter is 3.8\u00a0cm (1.50\u00a0in). These measurements suit 6.0\u00a0cm (2.36\u00a0in) squares and leave clear space between the pieces.<\/p>\n

The set includes additional queens and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. For a complete set, consider pairing them with the Italian-made Toscana<\/a><\/strong> chess board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
