This package includes our Fierce Knight Staunton Chess Set in African Padauk and Boxwood matched with our Padauk and Maple Signature Chess Board. African Padauk is one of the most colorful of the exotic woods and it makes an eye-catching chess set. The Fierce Knight has everything you look for in a fine Staunton wood chess set. The knight has intricately carved detail and a countenance that gives it the character for which it was named. The eyes, perked ears, mouth, flared nostrils, and jaw line blend together to create a unique and magnificent piece. The other pieces have graceful lines and features that come together to create an overall cohesive and elegant design.
The king is 3.5" tall with a 1.625" wide base and has a traditional formee cross. The bases of the pieces are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. The bottoms of the pieces are padded with thick green baize for a nice cushion and easy sliding on the chess board. Pieces are individually hand polished to a beautiful luster. The chess board is nothing short of a fine piece of handmade furniture. Constructed from solid wood, it has 3 tiers rising up to the playing surface and elegantly molded edges.
This heirloom quality chess set will not only make every chess game more enjoyable but is a good investment in a fine piece of craftsmanship. It will no doubt become one of your treasured possessions that will be handed down for generations.
