Walnut Burl Chess Set Size 5: a complete 50 x 50 cm set
The Walnut Burl Chess Set Size 5 is a complete chess set designed for those who want a beautiful wooden set, ready to play and attractive enough to display. It includes a 50 x 50 cm chessboard, 32 wooden Staunton pieces, and a wooden storage box included, for a clear and reassuring purchase from the outset.
Its large format offers real comfort during play, with a highly readable playing surface and a strong visual presence. The 8.5 cm king fits this set harmoniously, while the total weight of 9 kg enhances the feeling of stability on the table. The Size 5 designation here is associated with the known dimensions of the board and pieces, without unnecessary approximation.
A walnut and oak chessboard crafted in marquetry
This walnut chessboard combines walnut burl and oak in a marquetry design that highlights the natural grain of the wood. The result is warm, elegant, and refined, with a style equally suited to a game at home or display in an office or games room.
The artisanal craftsmanship is evident in the finishes and in the board’s visual character. This walnut burl chessboard therefore adds a genuine decorative dimension, while preserving everything expected from a 50 x 50 cm chessboard: space, comfort, and pleasant readability of positions.
Weighted wooden Staunton pieces designed for enjoyable play
The set comes with wooden Staunton pieces, 32 in total, made from sheesham and boxwood. The contrast between the brown and ivory tones makes the board easier to read, while the Staunton style remains appreciated for its clear shape and comfortable handling.
The pieces are weighted, which improves their stability and makes every move more enjoyable day to day. With an 8.5 cm king, the set maintains a strong presence on the board and is equally suitable for regular play, as a gift for a chess enthusiast, as a handcrafted chess set to collect, or as a luxury chess set to display.
