Wood Porn - A Wildly Classy Chess Set (Cherry and Maple)

About the Item

The game of chess is estimated to be some 1500 years old. It is hard to imagine all the variations of pieces and boards created during that period. I am exceptionally proud of our interpretation of the battlefield and its soldiers! In this edition, Cherry and Maple softly contrast one another. We are able to offer numours timber combinations as well as the potential of brass/copper accent work. This means that although the design is rigid, one is able to tailor an aesthetic which is appealing to your taste. Each piece is solid wood and expertly hand-turned by artisan. They are then carefully finished to ensure a congruent appearance. The legs were inspired by my friend and role-model Jory Brigham who is a prolific California based designer/builder. I spent some time working alongside him and living with his family on their spectacular farmstead situated just outside of Orange County. Any further questions can be answer via the 1st Dibs contact platform, or by using any one of our social media handles.
