Juego de Ajedrez Staunton de Lujo Serie Goliath de 4.4" - Sólo Piezas de Ajedrez - Palosanto y Boj

The chessmen are spectacular, the photos on the site, although excellent, do not do them justice, the finish is excellent and the design is both massive and sinuous, making the pieces appear imposing but without making them baroque.
This feature, in my opinion, makes the bishop (a piece whose design has never thrilled me) perhaps the most beautiful and balanced of the set. The horse is massive, masterfully sculpted with a terrified expression (contracted head muscles, bulging eyes, dilated nostrils, exposed teeth in the act of neighing and thick, disheveled mane) ready to pounce on the threat.
Finally, I really appreciated the Padauk (Bud rosewood) which presents, in addition to its natural veins, iridescent shades depending on the type of light and the angle with which it hits the piece, going from a dark from brown to orange passing through wine red, which from the photos it is not noticeable due to the controlled lighting, which gives "life" to the piece.
I would like to congratulate the craftsmen who made them with the hope that they receive the right recognition for their excellent work.
