We are pleased to announce the Empire II Luxury series heirloom quality Staunton chess set exquisitely made from ebony wood and natural boxwood. The King proudly stands at 4.6 inches and its base is robust 1.8 inches. This is a luxury design featuring the magnificently robust and remarkable knight. The dark chess pieces are made of ebony wood. It would be difficult to find a more sumptuous wood than ebony wood for the dark side chess pieces. The texture of the ebony wood is fine and a true pleasure to hold. The deep luster and total blackness of the ebony wood are exceptional. The opposing pieces are made of boxwood which is traditionally used for white side. It is one of the fairly easy woods to work with and shows off aesthetic detail. The set comes with free extra queens for effortless pawn promotion. All chess pieces are expertly carved and weighted for fantastic hand-feel and a very nice thud on the wooden chess board. All Pieces are uniquely designed without any collar rings and have thick green felts, which precisely envelops the base of each chessmen for smooth movement on the chess board. The knights are well-crafted and represent the highest grade of knight carving skills that our Indian artisans have to offer.

Beautiful set
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful set! Nicely carved, perfectly weighted, feast for the eyes. Horses and king particularly beautiful, which could be a drawback- you pay too much attention to figures not to the game. I haven’t played yet but look forward my first game.Chessbazaar lived up to the expectations, all figures were very carefully packed and professionally handled.Shipping from India though may be difficult- mine was stopped by the customs, some charges were imposed and it took a whole month till I got the the set, but now I think it was worth waiting.
