Looking for a superior set of chessmen? These exquisite Staunton style chessmen are the height of sophistication! They are hand polished and triple weighted with leather pads. Crafted from select Ebony and Kari wood, these pieces are an elegant choice for the refined chess player.
Ebony heartwood is one of the most intensely black woods, which, combined with its very high density (it is one of the very few woods that sink in water), fine texture, and ability to polish very smoothly, has made it very valuable as an ornamental wood. Ebony has a long history of use, with carved pieces having been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs!
