Regency Chess are proud to present to you one of the finest sets of chess pieces we stock. The imperious 4.25 inch king in this luxury series is carved from a solid block of exotic rosewood. His stature brings with it a weightiness that feels brilliant to play with. It is an attribute shared by all of the Stretford Knight Chessmen. The weight of the chessmen is complemented by an exquisite level of detail, thanks to our expert craftsmen. The knight particularly boasts astounding carvings, some of the finest anywhere in our luxury range. His flowing mane is beautiful in its intricacy, and sharp-eyed connoisseurs will notice the indented neck, a feature that takes extraordinary skill to craft consistently.
The rook sits alongside the knight, thick set in appearance and holding itself superbly on any chess board. These two chess pieces epitomise the contrast that defines these Stretford Knight Rosewood Chessmen.
The bishop has an impenetrable base topped with a delicate, tuliped head and seems to combine the nimble intelligence of the knight with the sheer power of the castle. The queen shares this powerful elegance, displaying a grandeur that is usurped only by her authoritative king.
We have found the perfect match for our Stretford Knight Rosewood Chessmen in our luxury Spanish made board constructed from wooden veneers of graded black anegre, maple and palisander rosewood. Completing the set, the chess pieces reflect beautifully in the high gloss finish.
