Chess is one of the oldest board games in the world, with a history that spans over 1,500 years. During this time, chess sets have evolved in both design and function. The most popular and iconic chess game is the Staunton set, which is considered to be the most functional and beautiful design in the history of chess. A high quality chess set should come complete with parts, board and box, so you don't have to worry about anything not matching.
The chess pieces should be carved from the highest quality boxwood and genuine ebony, with a king piece that rises above the table with an overall height of 4.4 inches and a wide base of 2 inches to preserve stability. Each piece should be individually carved and turned by hand by master craftsmen, according to the highest quality standards. The chessboard should also be hand carved, with large 2.25-inch squares to accommodate the wide bases of the chess pieces. It should be made of red burl lamboyna and bird'eye maple, and measure 15 x 15 standard inches when unfolded.
It should also fold inward to provide storage for chess pieces, which are protected by the felt lining and secured with inner straps. The luxury chess set from the Svano series has a unique design that maintains all the majesty and elegance of the Staunton pattern while offering something completely different. The King piece is 4.4 inches tall and has a 2 inch diameter base to keep it stable and comfortable. All pieces are heavy in weight to provide a luxurious feel in the hand and during the game. The chessboard that comes with this set is also a work of art, handmade in Spain with maple wood, bird's eye and elm. It has a total size of 23.75 square inches, and 2.5 inch squares that should be more than enough to accommodate almost any set of chess pieces. The chess set from the Aversa series offers a good dose of luxury at a bargain price.
