Our library series chessmen is a beautiful yet functional design of chessmen that are best suited for analysis type chess games or for use in your library or study.
All the pieces have a beautiful curvature to them with extra wide and squatty bases. They have a very low center of gravity making them hard to topple and very stable during play.
The craftsmanship quality on all the pieces is stunning with expert precision, which only an expert carver with years of experience can achieve.
They make for an excellent gift for a chess lover or if you want to indulge yourself with a beautiful design.
Information about wood: Acacia Wood is an excellent alternative to Golden Rosewood. It is similar priced as compared to Golden Rosewood and has good carving properties making it one of the most widely used woods for making chess pieces.
The wood is highly durable with medium density and is meant to withstand decades of use.
