If you prefer a darker, richer colour woods for your chess set then look no further.This is simply a great combination of wood colours - the stunning Rosewood French Knight Chess Men with our rich dark wenge deluxe veneer board.Lets talk about The French Knight pieces first.These are quite substantial chess men, based on the traditional Staunton design, standing at 3.25 inches (83 mm) and crafted from solid pieces of luxurious rosewood. Rosewood is a fantastic wood to create unique sets of pieces - even if they are the same carving design and wood used from the same branch of the same tree. The grain and different hues found in each section of wood are completely different. We call this natural colour variation. The rosewood is hand polished to bring out the natural beauty and grains in wood and the pieces are weighted, according to size, giving perfect balance in your hand. All the chess men have their bases covered in billiard cloth to protect your board.The detailing found in these pieces is actually quite exquisite considering their cost. Even though rosewood is considered an exotic wood, it would be very hard to find any other solid rosewood chess pieces that can compete in price.Such striking chess men need to have a chess board that will match them in quality and appearance. We have therefore chosen this board, made in Spain, by one of the world's best chess board makers, Rechapados Ferrer. Constructed to exacting tolerances, using high grade Wenge and Maple real wood veneers has resulted in our Spanish friends creating a board that is pretty close to perfection.
