French Lardy Staunton Chess Set in Golden Rosewood & Boxwood - 2.75" King

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 golden rosewood and 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.

Customer Reviews

William Rush of Germany French Lardy Staunton Chess Set
The chess pieces are very nice and the price was reasonable. The shipping price was much too expensive.
Bob Amt of Indianapolis, IN French Lardy Set w/2.75" King
The size and colors of this beautiful set go perfectly with the wood board I already have. It was delivered exactly as predicted. I shopped around other sites and am convinced I got the best set for the best price. Thanks.
Joan Vosburgh of Sandwich, MA French Lardy Set w/ 2.75" Kin
We bought this chess set for our grandson for Christmas. We are extremely pleased with the quality. We love the feel and the weight of the individual pieces. We know he'll love it. We received the set just days after placing the order. I will recommend The Chess Store to my friends and family.
Jack Anderson of Sequim, Washington French Lardy Set w/ 2.75" King
I play a lot in coffee houses on cafe tables. This smaller set travels well and is perfect for use in this kind of venue. Even though I bought this chess set on ebay at a discount, The Chess Store handled my purchase as if I was a VIP paying top dollar. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the merchandise, and very pleased with the way I was served. Thank you, Chess Store!
