This chess set package includes our French Lardy Staunton Chess Set in ebonized boxwood and boxwood matched with our Standard Mahogany and Maple Chess Board. Our French Lardy Staunton is based on the original chess set made by the Lardy Chess Company in France from many years ago. There's nothing fancy about this chess set but it has a masculine handsomeness and a traditional Staunton look that serious chess players prefer for their everyday chess set. Pieces have green billiard cloth pads for a soft feel when moving and are properly weighted for stability on the chess board. The ebonized and natural boxwood are hand polished to a beautiful sheen. The French Lardy is truly a classic and an exceptional chess set for the casual game at home or tournament play.

We are truly pleased with our purchase, The chess pieces are elegantly crafted with an eye to detail and balance. The set was put into service right out of the box, and seems to have claimed a permanent place on our living room table. Thanks so much for your prompt, courteous service. In all respects -- price, quality, service -- we could not have hoped for better.
