Tournament chess set is for lifetime. Pieces from solid hornbeam are classically Staunton in design, large, heavy and beautifully hand carved and hand turned. They are polished using only natural waxes and polishes and have additional weighting added to their bases.
Beautifully complimented by the tournament specification mahogany and sycamore wood chess board at 20 inches this chess set has an insert tray for the chess pieces storage inside. Outstanding value that doesn't cut back on quality and fine craftsmanship, the highlight of our chess sets collection.

Stanley –
nice hand made chess set, its quite rough around the edges but that gives it a “my granded made this” feel 🙂
Michelle Wyard –
Great value. Quality is really good and looks so much more expensive than the price i paid. Defo recommend.
Morgan –
The overall construction is very good. The wood looks lovely and each of the chess pieces is well constructed and fished with an even colour. It arrived well packaged and in an outer box which you can keep and use to protect it if required, especially when travelling.
Henry –
Extremely unhappy with this purchase. 2 figures arrived broken because of the shipment.
Smee –
Arrived quickly and well packaged with all the pieces in. It came with a strong smell of aerosol – a sign of being new I assumed? This soon went after a few days but was a bit off putting at first.
The set is well made and robust, and having the choice of two games is useful. I liked the way you store the game parts and it’s very useful to transport – we’ve taken this away with us several times and it’s always used.

Chess pieces are a bit light. But other than that good value for the money
