The Garvi ebony chessmen are truly exceptional. While still embracing the classic Staunton design, these pieces are intricately carved from solid ebony and boxwood, exuding elegance and sophistication. Take, for example, the knight - a crucial attacker and defender in the game of chess. In the Garvi series, this piece is represented by a majestic horse, expertly crafted from the base up. The horse's graceful arch is adorned with a beautifully detailed mane, showcasing the masterful skill of the carver. Admire the unique styles of these two pieces, inspired by the diversity of Akbar's empire. And in true homage to the emperor, the Garvi Series features an ornament that reflects his distinctive cultural identity.

These exquisite chess pieces draw inspiration from the elegant minarets of the iconic Taj Mahal. The queen's pointed headdress is adorned with a decorative spire that rivals the king's majestic crown in size. In Hindi, "Garvi" means "proud", a fitting name for these regal pieces that stand 4 inches tall.
