The Bath Rosewood & Dark Walnut Grand Chess Set

Description

The reddish tones of our Bath Rosewood Chessmen compliment well the natural walnut patterning of the Luxury Italian Chessboard we have matched it with. These two luxury components wonderfully make up the Bath Rosewood and Dark Walnut Grand Chess Set. Every ornament in this Luxury set of chess pieces is hand carved, with the Knights given particular attention. All four horses have amazingly detailed faces and intricate, swept manes. At 4.25 inches, though, it is the King that holds the most attention within this set. He stands with as much authority as any Regent in the Regency Chess collection, although, aesthetically, he is perhaps the most striking. His urned top is the foundation for an elegant coiled spire, while his thick midriff is simply a larger, stronger incarnation of his subjects’. Regardless of rank all of the hand-turned pieces share the same battlefield, which takes the shape of a stunning 23 Inch dark walnut chess board. Made in Florance, Italy, this distinguished chess board is one that has the beauty to compete with the Bath chessmen. Purchasing this extraordinary luxury chess set is as much an investment as anything else, with the cost of these rare materials only likely to increase in the future.
