	<title>British Staunton Rosewood Chessmen - 4" King - Double Weighted [1008R4]</title>
	<description>These unique British Staunton chessmen are crafted from select Rosewood and Boxwood. An elegant choice for your favorite chess board.  Pieces are double weighted with broad, felt bases for easier playing.  Exceptional quality!

King Chess Piece:
Height is 4"
Base is 1.6"

&lt;b&gt;Boxwood&lt;/b&gt; is a favorite with woodcarvers because it takes fine detail.  It is a dense wood that is so heavy it hardly floats.  In 15th century Europe, Boxwood was widely used for engraving and printing.  It was also believed to be the best wood for making molds since it could be intricately carved and would retain the details of the design.  It remains a popular choice for wood sculptures and carvings today.

&lt;b&gt;Rosewood&lt;/b&gt; refers to a rare wood with richly hued brownish timbers with darker veining. In general, Rosewood is strong and heavy, taking an excellent polish and is perfect for wooden chess pieces.</description>

	<title>Old Russian Ebony Chessmen - 3.75" King - Double Weighted with Opposite Tops [1007EO]</title>
	<description>These Old Russian style chessmen are crafted from select Ebony and Boxwood with opposite tops. A sophisticated unique choice for your favorite chess board.  Pieces are double weighted with felt bases for easier playing.  Exceptional quality!

King Chess Piece:
Height is 3.75"
Base is 1.5"


These chessmen are also available in a &lt;b&gt;Chess Set with a Matching Maple Chess Board!&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.yourchessgame.com/content-product_info/product_id-1949/old_russion_ebony_chess_set_with_17_maple_board_3_75_king_37eob.html"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/left&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Ebony&lt;/b&gt; 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!

&lt;b&gt;Boxwood&lt;/b&gt; is a favorite with woodcarvers because it takes fine detail.  It is a dense wood that is so heavy it hardly floats.  In 15th century Europe, Boxwood was widely used for engraving and printing.  It was also believed to be the best wood for making molds since it could be intricately carved and would retain the details of the design.

&lt;b&gt;Sheesham&lt;/b&gt; is also referred to as Indian Rosewood.  Native to India, Pakistan and Nepal, it is primarily found growing along river banks and is best known internationally as a premier timber species of the Rosewood genus.  Sheesham is among the finest ornamental timbers and makes spectacular chess pieces!

Some &lt;b&gt;Maple&lt;/b&gt; species have valuable timber, particularly Sugar Maple in North America, and Sycamore Maple in Europe. Sugar Maple wood, often known as "hard maple", is the wood of choice for musical instruments and makes beautiful chess pieces and chess boards. 

&lt;b&gt;Walnut&lt;/b&gt; has been a popular ornamental wood because of its durability, beauty, and smoothness to the touch.  Walnut has a mostly straight grain and polishes to a high sheen.</description>

&lt;strong&gt;Sheesham&lt;/strong&gt; is also referred to as Indian Rosewood.  Native to India, Pakistan and Nepal, it is primarily found growing along river banks and is best known internationally as a premier timber species of the Rosewood genus.  Sheesham is among the finest ornamental timbers and makes spectacular chess pieces!

&lt;b&gt;Boxwood&lt;/b&gt; is a favorite with woodcarvers because it takes fine detail.  It is a dense wood that is so heavy it hardly floats.  In 15th century Europe, Boxwood was widely used for engraving and printing.  It was also believed to be the best wood for making molds since it could be intricately carved and would retain the details of the design.  It remains a popular choice for wood sculptures and carvings today.

&lt;strong&gt;Walnut&lt;/strong&gt; has been a popular ornamental wood because of its durability, beauty, and smoothness to the touch.  Walnut has a mostly straight grain and polishes to a high sheen. Perfect for Chess Sets.

Some &lt;strong&gt;Maple&lt;/strong&gt; species have valuable timber, particularly Sugar Maple in North America, and Sycamore Maple in Europe. Sugar Maple wood, often known as "hard maple", is the wood of choice for musical instruments and makes beautiful chess pieces and chess boards.</description>

	<title>Lotus Hand Carved Ebony Chessmen - 5.5" King - Double Weighted with Case [55ELOBX]</title>
	<description>&lt;b&gt;New!&lt;/b&gt;

These beautiful chessmen are hand carved from select Ebony and Boxwood in India.  You will love the intricate detail of the unique Lotus style.  Pieces are double weighted with felt bases for easier playing.  The sophisticated choice for your favorite chess board!


King Chess Piece:
Height is 5.5"
Base is 1.5"


&lt;left&gt;&lt;b&gt;Teak Case Included:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/left&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://a392.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/99/l_603c3d2c0963cda1ec53bb33d534e82f.jpg" alt="Chess Pieces Case" title="Chess Pieces Case" border="0"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;


&lt;b&gt;Ebony&lt;/b&gt; 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!


&lt;b&gt;Boxwood&lt;/b&gt; is a favorite with woodcarvers because it takes fine detail.  It is a dense wood that is so heavy it hardly floats.  In 15th century Europe, Boxwood was widely used for engraving and printing.  It was also believed to be the best wood for making molds since it could be intricately carved and would retain the details of the design.  It remains a popular choice for wood sculptures and carvings today.</description>

&lt;b&gt;Ebony&lt;/b&gt; 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!

&lt;b&gt;Boxwood&lt;/b&gt; is a favorite with woodcarvers because it takes fine detail.  It is a dense wood that is so heavy it hardly floats.  In 15th century Europe, Boxwood was widely used for engraving and printing.  It was also believed to be the best wood for making molds since it could be intricately carved and would retain the details of the design.  It remains a popular choice for wood sculptures and carvings today.</description>

&lt;b&gt;Boxwood&lt;/b&gt; is a favorite with woodcarvers because it takes fine detail.  It is a dense wood that is so heavy it hardly floats.

It was also believed to be the best wood for making molds since it could be intricately carved and would retain the details of the design.  It remains a popular choice for wood sculptures and carvings today.</description>
