This is our collection of chess sets in ebony and boxwood. Ebony is one of the hardest and densest woods in the world and it polishes to a beautiful gloss. Ebony is one of the few woods that will actually sink in water - so it makes heavy chess sets! Our ebony chess pieces are pure black without the brown stripes or faded color as you might find on lesser quality chess sets. We put black leather pads on all of our ebony chess sets. Chess sets sorted by price.
