This is our collection of authentic ebony chess pieces. Ebony is one of the hardest woods in the world and it polishes to a beautiful shiny obsidian black with no visible grain. Ebony is exceptionally heavy and is so dense that it actually sinks in water. Ebony has been the wood used for the black pieces for centuries because of its natural black color and heavy weight but it's also one of the most expensive woods because of the slow growth of the trees and limited availability.
Our high quality ebony chess sets are all handcrafted by highly skilled craftsmen one piece at a time using lathes and special turning tools. The knights are hand carved one knight at a time using a variety of different tools to achieve the detail added to each piece. All pieces are then carefully sanded, polished, and lacquered. Weights are added to the base for stability and balance and a thick green baize pad is added for a soft feel on the chess board. Every set includes spare queens for pawn promotion and a certificate of authentication so you always know exactly what your chess set is, when it was made, and where it came from.

I love this chess set. Classic and top quality product and ChessnBoards provid ethe best customer service
While I typically do not like abstract chess sets, I bought this set for my wife. She loves it, and after giving it a close look I have to say I'm impressed. It is nicely weighted and the pieces are easy to tell apart. There may be some confusion telling the Knight from the Bishop, but once you realize the comical Bishop is based on his miter, and the octagonal Rook on its battlements, the Knight is the only piece remaining. In particular, I like the little cubes for the Pawns.
Beautiful and modern chess set—better than expected.
Interestingly, this causes a handicap for my quite color-blind son, who struggles to distinguish my pink & orange pieces from his blue & green pieces.
We are new to chess in our family so this board wasn't the best choice for us. It's hard to remember which pieces are which, especially when they are all over the board. That being said, it's a stunning chess set and a great find for someone who knows chess well.
I really can't believe this is still available in now days we are unable get these things with such huge quality. I strongly recommend to buy it.
