The craftsmanship behind your set.
No moulded resin, no plastic: our pieces are carved from wood by cabinetmakers in a family workshop founded in 1996 near Lublin. A set made to last, guaranteed for 3 years.
01
European hardwoods
Hornbeam, beech, birch or maple depending on the model: dense woods, chosen for their grain and the way they last.
02
Hand-carved
The knight’s mane, the king’s crown: the details are carved by hand by cabinetmakers. No two pieces are ever quite identical.
03
Pyrography and inlay
The decoration on the board is burned in with heat and the squares are worked in contrasting woods, for a board that gains a patina over the years.
04
Around ten craftspeople
From raw wood to finished set, each set passes through the hands of around ten craftspeople: turning, carving, sanding and finishing.
This No. 5 chessboard, sold on its own, combines padauk and maple in a 48 cm inlaid board. Its 50 mm squares, alphanumeric coordinates and rounded corners suit No. 5 Staunton pieces. The pieces are sold separately.
