Description
Wooden Chess Set 20 Inch with Helena Chess Board and Weighted Ebonised German Staunton Chess Pieces 3.75 Inch
The Ebony Chess Set by Helena Art sounds truly captivating, with its commanding presence and intricate artistry. The combination of solid Ebony wood and Mother of Pearl inlays must create a stunning visual contrast. It’s remarkable how the Turkish artists have incorporated Moorish influences and geometric patterns into the design, adding layers of cultural richness to each piece.
On the other hand, the German Staunton design offers a classic elegance, with its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. The felt lining on each piece ensures both protection for the chessboard and a smooth playing surface. The Staunton design has a timeless appeal, and it’s fascinating to learn about its characteristics, such as the distinctive knight and the staunched rook.
The inclusion of a magnificently veneered chess piece storage box crafted from Walnut wood adds a touch of luxury to the ensemble. It’s practical yet elegant, providing a secure home for the precious chess pieces while also complementing the overall aesthetic.
It’s evident that both sets are crafted with passion and expertise, making them not just pieces for play but also works of art to be admired and cherished.
