ABSTRACT ABBEY CHESS MEN - MODERN STYLE WOOD SET K=4" FELTED AND WEIGHTED (764)

Description: ABSTRACT ABBEY CHESSMEN FINELY CARVED WOODEN CHESS SET 4 INCH KING [chessboard not included] While entirely modern in conception, this clear and geometrically ideal chess set harkens back to a deep-rooted sense of proportion, born in the European reformation. With 20th century courage and stark symmetry, the designer has liberated the classic form of chessmen, leaving it simple, defined and essentially timeless. A pleasing design in any sphere, and clearly identifiable to the chess player of the 21st century. HIGH QUALITY POLISHED HARDWOOD The high density and natural luster of boxwood has made it the long standing favorite for the best carved wooden chessmen. This set features boxwood on both sides; finely carved and highly polished. While the "white" side shows its natural wood grain, the "black" pieces are deeply stained to match the color of ebony. The two sides match each other perfectly in weight, feel and luster, while maintaining the dark and light tones most ideal for chess play. FELTED AND WEIGHTED These chessmen are generously weighted and felted, for the greatest enjoyment during play. The entire set weighs 2 pounds, 5 ounces. SIZE The king of this set stands 4 inches tall. This size is officially recommended for tournament play. They fit comfortably on a board of 2 to 2.25 inch squares. BOARD AVAILABLE, NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE This set is sold as chessmen only. Please note that no special display box or chessboard is incuded in this sale. Shipping, etc...
