ID 1238185033 Zagreb Series Chess Set Acacia & Boxwood Pieces with Walnut & Maple Molded Edge Board - 3875" King
This chess set package includes our Zagreb with acacia wood and boxwood pieces matched with our Walnut and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board. Our Zagreb series chess sets have been a mainstay in our collection for decades. This design became prominent in the 1950's when it was first used in the World Championship Candidates Match held in Zagreb in 1959. This is a large chess set with a 3.875" tall king and a base diameter of 1.625". Pieces are made from acacia wood and boxwood and are heavily weighted for exceptional stability on the chess board. Thick green baize pads on the bottom create a soft cushion and allow the pieces to slide smoothly across the chess board. The uniquely shaped knight with its arched neck and turned down head is what distinguishes this chess set from others. As is often found on eastern European sets, the king, queen, and bishop finials are made in the opposite color of the main body.Our Walnut and Maple Molded Edge Chess Board from Rechapados Ferrer combines classic design with elegant features to create an eye-catching battle field for your chess game. This is an inlaid chess board handcrafted from high quality walnut and maple veneer and sealed with a polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the beauty of the wood. A wide and colorful burl wood delimiter accentuates the playing field while the black stained molded edge highlights the entire board. The squares are 2.125" and the footprint of the board is 21.5" square. Four felt pads on the bottom will protect whatever furniture the board sets on.Chess Pieces: Acacia Wood & Boxwood; King Height: 3.875"; King Base: 1.625"; King Weight: 3 oz.; Chess Set Weight: 50 oz.; 2 spare queens are included for pawn promotion; Green Baize Pads; Chess Board: Material: Walnut & Maple Veneer over Wood Composites; Finish: Satin Polyurethane; Sycamore Delimiter Around Squares; Black Molded Edge; Square Size: 2.125"; Overall Dimensions: 21.5" x .5" Thick;
