Adorned in ebony and graded boxwood, the Parthenon chessmen exude deluxe quality and elegance. Based on the classic Staunton lines, these pieces have a more refined, columnar appearance. The long shanks and angular bishop's mitre lend a touch of classical inspiration.
Each piece is meticulously balanced, weighted, and polished to a superior sheen without any use of artificial or synthetic materials. The accompanying chess board, crafted just outside of Barcelona in Spain, is made of lustrous walnut and maple. The attention to detail is unparalleled, with sharp lines and inlays seamlessly aligned and a robust lacquered finish.
The chessmen, in rich browns, reds, and yellows, perfectly complement the board's black ebony and yellow boxwood pieces, resulting in a traditional yet subtly architectural aesthetic. This luxurious set includes 4 queens and a Rootwood Chesspiece Case with a hinged lid and quadrant hinges.
