This elegant chess set package from our Staunton by Design Collection comes with our Decorative Parker Staunton in burnt boxwood and boxwood with our Black & Ash Burl Deluxe Chess Board. The Parker offers a traditional Staunton chess set with a unique design and finish. It has a classic style with handsome knights that have the look and feel of the older Jaques designs. To create the black, chess pieces are actually burnt followed by the final carving and design work which creates a beautiful contrast in colors between the blackened areas and the natural golden wood colors underneath. Chess pieces are then finished in high gloss lacquer giving the chess pieces a glass-like finish.
The perfect chess board for this set is our Black & Ash Burl Deluxe Chess Board. The black and golden color of the ash burl match perfectly with the black and amber color of the chess pieces. The chess board is finished in a glass-like, polyurethane finish that compliments the pieces as designed - perfectly. One of our most elegant and chess set and board packages and both players and collectors love it - read some of the reviews below!

| Janice of NYC Great Gift |
|
| I am extremely happy with my purchase. It is a beautiful set, extremely elegant and great for display. The price was considerable but I purchased it as a gift and realized that you are paying for the quality and the quality is worth it. The pieces came well packaged in a cardboard box. I admit, it is still quite expensive and I wish it came with a more elegant box included instead of having to spend more money to purchase a box. Otherwise, it was shipped well and in a timely fashion. | |

| Krysten of USA Burnt Boxwood Set is Gorgeous! |

| Just received the Parker Staunton Set in Burnt Boxwood with the Black&Ash Deluxe Chess Board. It is absolutely stunning! The weight of each piece feels very nice, and the board and pieces are obviously made of high quality wood with a beautiful gloss finish. This is the first chess set I've purchased, but I think I got a great value for the price. The set and board were packaged very well so that nothing was damaged during shipment. Ground shipping took only 4 days and was reasonably priced. ... | |
