Royal Blue Ash Wood Chess Set - Handcrafted

Les Échiquiers du Roi is proud to present the Bleu Roi chess set, a work of art where the elegance of contemporary design meets the nobility of the ancestral game. This board and its pieces, finely crafted from stained ash and maple wood, offer a royal gaming experience, marking each game with the mark of excellence. The royal blue hue of the ash board brings a striking visual dimension, a tribute to the grandeur and strategic depth of the game of chess. The 50mm boxes are highlighted by a discreet black border, providing a clear contrast that facilitates concentration and anticipation of movements. Each piece, precisely sculpted, demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship. The use of burnt boxwood for the dark pieces and natural boxwood for the light ones creates a captivating visual dialogue on the tabletop, accentuated by the base of the light pieces also in burnt boxwood, a unique design detail. The high-gloss varnish finish of the board is not only practical for long life; it also reflects light in a way that enhances the richness of the colors and the quality of each game played. The elegant screen printing of our brand attests to the fact that this game belongs to the "Les Échiquiers du Roi" collection. The Royal Blue chess set is complemented by an optional sheesham chess box, which is as beautiful and functional as the board and pieces. Each set comes with the promise of an unparalleled playing experience, complete with free shipping and access to our premium chess training.
