This chess set package includes our French Lardy Staunton Chess Set in golden rosewood and boxwood matched with our Standard Walnut 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 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
Dave Felcyn of Wisconsin French Lardy Staunton Set
I love this set! The pieces are large and weighted very nicely, and I like the felt bottoms. The board in simple, but looks great with the set. Mine came with a black inlay border, unlike the photo, but I like it better than the lighter color inlay.
